Technology wishlist


  1. Fully Integrated Google. All Google Apps and Google Cloud Offerings worked together seemlessly.  I built a solution to make configuration data in Google Spreadsheets feed into app engine.  I hired a programmer to modify a existing third party python library to pull data from G Sheets.  How is this lib not already published by Google directly?
  2. plate@car.gov All car license plates had an email address, so people could warn you before the tow truck, if you parked the car in a bad place. If you’re license is ABH-2342 then your email alias would be ABH-2342@car.gov.  And everyone would just know that.
  3. Public problem app.  I wish there was an app to report problems and crimes to relevant government agencies.  It would include some automatic reporting, e.g. your phone automatically reports a pothole when you hit one while driving.  The driver won’t need to pull over and manually report.  The smartphone would just know that a sudden jolt along a road means pothole and report it.  
  4. Kidnap app. I wish there was a facial recognition app to that was connected to a database of known missing persons so if people saw something suspicious they could sneak a pic and check if the child was known missing.  
  5. Financial Social Network.  I wish there was a social network dedicated to helping friends get to $1000 of passive income a month.  Helping friends could be as simple as donations to as serious as business model consulting.  
  6. Uber for Local Farming.  Shoppers can put in app what produce / meat they want and when (today) bulk order next month and then growers can get an aggregate picture for demand and claim supply.
  7. Affordable Franchise Database.  Offer a database of small businesses that cost less than $40k and can pay for itself in one year.  Should be same or lower risk than a Subway franchise.  
  8. No Video App.  Make a proxy server or Chrome extension that blocks videos from autoplaying or downloading when it detects that I’m connected from an LTE network or some other network that has a quota.  
  9. Affirmations App.  Make an app that contains phrases in two languages that you want to speak over your life.  Get something positive in your brain while also learning a new language.  
  10. Make service hostable on Google App Engine  where any Google Doc or Google Sheet can be served as a page and have css applied to it and maybe some extra javascript applied.  GWebDrive.

This works great for 1 day trips somewhere if you have a fridge and laptop plugged in.  

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
