10,000 Brilliant Ideas

I saw in some DVD special feature that with each new film, Pixar tries to push the capabilities of computer animation. Here's the next one to push. Film dubbing in other languages has very high quality in terms of voices and acting, but the problem of lip-match perpetuates. "What can ya do?" we all say to this problem. Well, with computer animation it wouldn't be so hard to design a program that modifies the mouth and face of the character a bit to match certain vowel and consonant sounds. And while you're at it, why not replace the face and skin color of the character in certain situations to better match the audience? Obviously this wouldn't work everywhere, but how cool would that be to live in Mozambique and a brand new, top-of-the-line hollywood movie comes out, in portuguese, with mouths matching, and using Mozy-like characters?! Okay maybe the face thing would only work for like one movie as part of the gimmick. But the mouth thing could totally work.

If you live in a town nearby a steep mountain this is great for you to pay all your electric bills. Essentially there's a cable-suspended car elevator that comes down the mountain. A car drives up and can take the quick car-vater down to save on time and break pads. The car-vater generates electricity for the town. Obviously, this would be best for a road with a lot of traffic and you could charge people to go up the car-vater if they want to make the trip quickly.

This idea has a sensitive altimeter attached to a pair of glasses, maybe with Bluetooth that can sense when your head is as high as it possibly can be and when it begins to dip. When it does, your phone alerts you and you adjust your posture. It uses smart algorithms to know when you're going up stairs or getting in a car or whatever.

This comedy club in new york is unabashedly Mormon and clean. If you come to this club you're met with a challenge, that you can have a fun time without alcohol or even coffee. You can. Mormons do it all the time. It also has stand-up comedy. Where the comedian is not allowed to go blue at all and has his/her Challenge to get through a whole set without going blue. There's a water tank under the stage just like that dunking ball game at county fairs and there's a seat in the audience for some lucky someone who holds the lever. That person is the oldest, most conservative person in the audience. If they think it's going blue they pull the lever the comedian is down and it's onto the next one. The audience shouts and jeers to get this person to do the dunking. Comedians know what they're getting into and it's a fun challenge bantering with the audience ("don't you pull that lever!"). They know they can go to farts, boogers, underwear but beyond t...

For governments receiving donations. Let's say a gift of an ambulance, they can receive a larger amount that will go into a fund to buy an upgraded ambulance every 10 years. Once one starts thinking of perpetual gifts, one can also think of perpetual budgeting. Everything has a plan and a funding flow. Nothing falls apart or needs extra money in the future, because maintenance is built in to the original purchase.
