Protein Folding I Ching

Protein folds are divided into 7 families. Each protien will have several domains, each of which falls into one of these families.

Make an I Ching which uses two adjacent domains.

Blurb for the book/app:
DNA codes proteins. Protiens, then, determine everything with respect to life. This knowledge, while new to western science, is actually quite old. We recently found an ancient manuscript, from the
mountains, written in a Vedic script. Translation showed that it associated each combination of protein fold families with a particluar fortune. We are thus proud to present the Protein Folding I Ching.

project organizer

A to-do list, and a progress bar which shows how much work you have put into it & also how much you have to go.
Default shows it as started (just writing it down is starting)

List can be re-organized and tagged.

but let's not get carried away.

6 degree hunting

A flow of ideas:

Map my facebook, Linked In, and collaboration networks on the world, each a different color, zoomable/scaleable etc.

Wouldn't it be cool if I could add my friend's networks, or make this as a tool that anyone could do?

Personal Network Mapper app

What if we use this to look for people, as a game? Hop around the world, bonus points if you find Osama Bin Ladin, or ?

Ok, but software will already find your shortest path for you. Then it isn't a game.

Solution: use fictional nodes. Give people clues. To find the answer you need to assemble a set of clues which you get by asking around your network.Or you can trade/buy/sell clues. You win clues by solving/finding things.

Use fictional characters. "On the internet, no-one knows you are a dog" or even better, why don't lepruchans have facebook pages?

Touch anywhere shutter release

The ergonomics of the inbuilt camera are bad, mostly because the shutter release is poorly placed and small.replace it with a huge, transparent button.
