Delusional Thinking
I need more of my friends to think so big that it’s borderline delusional. The Mars mission guy did it – there is no one way mission to Mars, but he has built a little empire around the idea. He has made himself an absolute authority on Mars travel, without requiring a single credential.
I wish more of my friends would think at that scale. Sometimes I feel alone in those thoughts, and it triggers a lot of self doubt. Maybe I’m not delusional enough either.
A Skill Discovery Tool
I want something that teaches me one useful skill per week, probably on a Sunday morning, via push notification.
It needs to be a quick learning skill, and something useful and fun. The app needs to learn from my interests, and cater the suggestions to my unique API.
Example Skills:
-Learn how to order a beer in the five most commonly spoken languages on earth.
-Learn how to pick a lock.
-One hour crash course in Ruby.
-The Easiest way to chop an onion.
Problem – Evernote won’t let me set passwords

Then we came to Medium, and I did not write – because I am an Android user and they don’t like me.
Then we came to WordPress – and I no longer had
problems to list.
