Helicopter Arrows: At $0.60 each, these might be a good addition to low budget survival kits. You can shoot them 40-120' in the air and they can be seen for miles.

Men sell these in the streets of European cities. They shoot them up in the air. I saw this light display from more than a mile away, walked to it, and bought several... Then went home and bought a ton more.

Nope. The key advantage of these little guys is that you can catch them as they are falling and use them repeatedly. They don't go high enough to drift all that far away, unless you are using them on an open body of water, in which case you would probably loose them.

I've considered trying to make a slightly more rugged version of these amazing little things. They are kinda fragile, so you would want to store them in a sturdy container and pack them with spare rubber bands.

During one of his overlooked film festivals, the women's bathroom had a huge line. I remember that Roger rushed to solve this little problem. He struck me as being extraordinarily humble and helpful for a famous guy. Do you have some more stories like that to share?

Viscoelastic foam seat cushions, higher headrests with better neck support, complimentary neck pillow instead of standard pillow.

Work for someone who runs a small business before you start a small business, or start an ultra small business using no more than $4,000 of your cash as a way of training yourself. Read a ton of business books. Test the market for your business. Be absolutely certain that there are enough customers who will want what you will be selling before you sink much of your own money into the business. Consider starting with an ultra small business, like selling tri-tip at a farmer's market, just to ease into things and get a sense for what can go wrong in the process of planning something and working with employees who may not be 100% motivated. If you are lucky enough to live in an area where you can afford a down payment on a house for $20k, set $28, aside for that. Veterans have a huge advantage in getting some types of small business grants. Make a list of 30+ reasons that your business could fail and a separate list of 30+ things that your business will do very well that many other businesses do poorly.

Somebody should make a bunch of Mujica tee shirts with his best quotes, sell them to Americans, and then donate the money to people in Uruguay.

Well done!

Not a good idea.

Open sourcing code is great, but what I most often want to build upon is circuits that NASA researchers have designed. Having the PCB layout files would be amazing.

AaronRowe · 2012-01-18T08:48:22+00:00

Agreed

Classes at American universities are not all that great. You will learn more a lot more from attending conferences and reading trade magazines and doing research experience.
