Example Entry for Idea Streaming Blog
Name: Oceanit's Idea Streaming Tool (?)
What: Implement an online tool that can push ideas to people's desktops so they can collaborate on the next big thing at Oceanit. Central storage. Private. RSS/Atom based reader that looks like a scrolling stock ticker that takes up minimal desktop space
Why: ideas that are posted to things like a sharepoint forum die when the conversation slows down and ends, and you don't get anymore emails.
Who: Who wants to help?
When: Roll out full system by end of March '08
Budget: free to a few dollars. Do it with free stuff to prototype the idea and validate the value and process.
Posting: avoid posting anything and everything to this site. Post in a targeted fashion. e.g., you have a new concept for the Space Elevator, or cold fusion, etc...

From The Economist print edition
A fleet of privately financed spaceships is emerging. It heralds a new business in space travel
Virgin Galactic
THE way Will Whitehorn tells it, the story began in 2003 in Mojave, California, on a visit to Scaled Composites, a company with a reputation for designing and building futuristic and sometimes wacky-looking aircraft. Mr Whitehorn is one of the top brass in Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group; and Virgin Atlantic, Sir Richard's airline, was sponsoring Global Flyer, a Scaled Composites creation, on a non-stop voyage around the world. On his way out of the factory Mr Whitehorn saw something unusual and asked what it was. Burt Rutan, head of Scaled Composites, told him it was a spaceship. He was building it for another customer, but he couldn't say any more.

Private Blog
Any way that we can make this a private site? IN case we have an IP on this site... Also, how do we download the ticker tape you were talking about, Ian?

Kaaawa Online
http://ilind.net/
This is the one thing I take a few minutes to look at every morning. Ian Lind is a classmate of Jan's and comes over for Christmas ham. Somehow he can take his walk on Kaaawa beach and have a post up everyday before 6am. Lots of purdy pictures. He writes for the Weekly and still has an investigative edge. Once in a while he has scoops that I can use at Oceanit. He likes cats AND dogs.

The pessimist's view of econ-o-rama 2008
I was referred to this one by the Arlington Institute's "The Future" email. Caution- a bad attitude and a few bad words. To Kunstler's credit, he did foresee the sub-prime debacle, so he might have a decent clue. His weekly blog does read a little Hunter S. Thompson-esque, lapping at a huge void in our society with at least persistence and a decent vernacular.
