It's odd how that one chunk of Texas looooves its fruits and vegetables, but the rest won't have any of it.
Also, a comparison map with local educational and HHS spending is in order, I feel.
I saw a sign like this in rural Minnesota about 15 years ago by a bridge that was being repaired and only had one lane. My mom and I thought it was hilarious. And incidentally, the concept of taking turns when there's someone there and going ahead when there isn't is already kinda present in the flashing yellow lights that some cities use in off-peak hours. For non-bestreetlighted intersections, I agree with Karl. More roundabouts!
Such a great idea. Best way to get rid of sensitive documents ever.
I love the idea of flooding your vision with ad content when you're not doing anything remotely important to get micropayments. Maybe you'd get coupons by seeing a certain amount of ads, or maybe playing ads would defray the monthly cost of AR. (That's not to say that I would love doing it, I just think it's an interesting business model. Pay the customer a tiny amount directly to see your advertisements!)
Fantastic. I'd much rather see people out walking or riding a bike out to get some stuff (as it promotes all kinds of positive stuff: community building, health improvement, etc.) but for a lot of folks this just isn't feasible every day, and lots of grocery bags are the result of doing so less frequently. Not only does this mean, uh, lots of grocery bags exist, but it's also considerably more difficult to simply carry the load when you're walking far or on a bike. This is a great concept.
I largely agree with Sarah, but with one difference: I think it would be much more feasible and productive to get everyone to shift 5% of their focus to providing for others, rather than 5% of people to shift their entire focus. I'm as big of an anti-consumerism advocate as they come, but you have to remember that the perfect is the enemy of the good. I think encouraging people to look at their overall holiday budget and then taking out a little bit to give to charity would be a fairly useful and effective campaign.
This is a great idea, encouraging a bike couture. Perhaps they should try to get helmets involved too. I'm all for more biking, but safety is paramount.
How many astronauts do you think will just sit there, pretending to fly a TIE fighter? I mean you got the window for it, and you're in space...
