Game idea
I was thinking about this beer app a friend showed me, that she is super into. It has a whole slew of unique brands of microbrews. Players check off and rate the different types of beers they have and share with their friends. Are there any apps that people get to check off random acts of kindness? I was thinking about the 26 random acts of kindness movement. It would be fun to have an app that has a whole list of random acts (pay for someone's expired meter, hold the door open for someone that is not right behind you, ...). It would be fun for the person doing the acts, they get to check off the tasks and its effects could be immeasurable.

Zorro's Corner
When cleaning out my parents' attic, I catch delightful glimpses at their uniqueness. I have uncovered a homemade ozone machine, antique scuba gear (suprisingly quite a market for that), homemade heathkit computers (also suprisingly quite a market for that as well). One of the most fun things to come across was my dad's correspondence (zero market for that yet). At one time he was planning on growing mushrooms (suprisingly just the edible kind, however, it certainly would explain a lot more if he was interested in the halliconegenic variety). Anyways, the spawn people sent him something different than what was pictured in the 1976 catalog. All of my years growing up I had no idea that he had such an interest in fungi, that he addressed people as gentlemen, that he wrote letters... Point of the story, well there's several: people have a lot to uncover, don't judge a book by its cover, don't send Zorro the incorrect genus of mushrooms, people collect nearly everything, appreciate the riddles wrapped in engimas that are your family., and perhaps the most important message: A 6910-4 mushroom spawn culture packet would only set you back $2.50. Wow have times changed.
(On the back Zorro asks how long will a package of spawn last in storage, good info to know!)
