I had this idea for a small wireless trackpad and I am trying to get it developed here

Only three days left to vote for it here: http://tinyurl.com/34ytalt

Unfortunately the idea didn't make it through the voting round; maybe I'll resubmit it later.

I have a great idea that improves Google Search


  • The way google image search has been enhanced lately (an endless scrolling list rather then pages) should be applied to regular search as well.
  • It's really a pain in the a** to have to push the button for the next page all the time, especially because the button is not on the same position on every page. So you have to reposition the mouse after every click.
  • Rolling the scroll wheel would be so much easier and you can leave your eyes on the search results rather then looking for the exact position of the next page button every time.
  • An easier to implement solution to this is positioning the button in a div that sticks to the bottom of the screen, but the endless list is so much better!

Found this gem on the net

This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream, and wear your passion.


And put it here to read from time to time.

Sync photo's on your iPad or iPod

In the iTunes library there's music, movies, tv-shows, podcasts, books, programs, ringtones, radio, ... but not photo's! Why, Apple?
I know there is a way to choose the folders to sync to your iPad, but I want them in the Library, just like all my other media.

Sneaky Yahoo injection

Installation of Panda Cloud antivirus presents me a checked checkbox with the indecent proposal to set Yahoo as my default search engine.
I really do like Panda because of it's cloud solution. But I don't like this imposed use of Yahoo.
When I install CCcleaner or other software from Piriform I am presented a checked checkbox for installation of the Yahoo toolbar.
This sneaky Yahoo pushing must be stopped.

Sort your navigation menu

This article about how important it is to attract your website visitors' attention and gain their trust, by offering them valuable information first, made me think.
Google analytics offers clear insight in the popularity of the links (in the menu) of your website, so you could sort your menu items on popularity with the most popular links at the top, in order to have your visitors seeing these links earlier.
At the same time, these most clicked links appear to lead to the information you're offering :)
So when the most popular links are placed at the top of your menu, your visitors will find what they are looking for faster and they migth stay on your website for a longer time, maybe then they'll fill out your contact form or even buy your product.
