Big ideas: this is along the lines of "The only way to save yourself is to save the whole world." The Civilian Conservation Corps of 2003, or the Digitial Civilian Conservation Corps. lay fiber to the home nation-wide. code up community-involvement web applications for all sorts of group collaboration (baby sitting, group insurance plans, cataloging borrowed tools/dvds). Id need the help of at least a couple senators.

Medium idea: Spazmo (adhoc work force; location services; conveinence store on the web)

Small idea: drink beer. lots of beer. think about why K left.

Crazy idea: buy ticket to hawaii on January 1st.

Old idea: join the FBI
