Get All Your Online Notes on Cards

Why?

You take notes and highlight phrases and sentences while reading electronically (the web, ebook), and although it’s very convenient to search, there is an advantage to having these on real cards (for instance on index cards) so you can “play” with them.

How?

A service that takes all of your online notes and highlights, prints them on physical cards of your choosing and delivers them to you.

Know if You Can Watch the DVD Online

Why?

You are at the store and see a DVD you would like to watch, but maybe it’s already available online for you through your subscription (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)

How?

An app that lets you take a quick snap of the DVD’s cover and shows you where it’s available for streaming online.

Internally Divided Hedge Fund

Why?

When you start having a lot of money to manage, it becomes more and more difficult to find good ideas that can be executed on such a large scale.

How?

Divide the fund internally into sub finds and make each one of them responsible for a part of the money.

See What’s Cooking

Why?

It’s sometimes hard to see what’s the state of the dish in the oven, but you don’t want to open it to get a better look.

How?

An oven with a wireless (wifi) cam showing what’s going on inside, that you can check from your smartphone.
