So in case you haven’t noticed, blogs are so 2007 (I mean, I can’t even believe you’re reading this, are you in a cave?) These days all the cool kids twitter. But even cool kids run out of things to say, and when all else fails, most people talk about what they had for Lunch. In fact, the latest round of Forrester Research tweets contained more references to tuna sandwiches than experience strategies and knowledge management combined. So if your twitter stream is bit heavy on the mayo, and you’re more interested in meat that’s not between two slices of bread, what you need is Peckish.

With Peckish you can auto-magically filter out all food-eating references in your twitter stream. Twinkees, gone. Mr. Pibb, gone. matzah-brei, gone. Decide your twitter appetite and put your tweet intake on a diet.

Ever watched Sports Center and realized that you never got your 15 minutes of fame?  Then this might be the show for you. Here’s my pitch: ESPN starts a televised call-in show for regular folk to complain about sports injuries. It would be like Car Talk but instead of talking about your crap car, you get to talk about your crap knee.

I’d either host it with two witty and obnoxious orthopaedic surgeons . . .

Injured Caller: "My knee makes this funny popping noise every time I run."

Surgeon Host 1: "Can you describe the popping noise, is like a Rice Crispies
in milk, or opening a bottle of Cristal?"

Surgeon Host 2: "I had some Cristal last night, fantastic. I'll have to make
up a few injuries in the office to pay for it, but it's so worth it."

Or for a completely different chemistry, imagine a Western doctor and an Eastern healer . . .

Western Host: "I've got some bad news for you; I think you're suffering from
degenerative joint disease. You see, the largest weight-bearing joints in the
body are prone to ..."

Eastern Host: "Oh, no, no, no ... degenerative joint disease is when you get
skipped over for your turn to toke because your friends are too high to notice.
What you're suffering from is a disruption in your radiant energy-pattern
probably a blockage in your lower meridian"

Next time you’re watching ESPN with ice packs on your knees, who you gonna call?

Here’s a simple million-dollar idea: A mail program plugin that alerts you when you forget an email attachment:

Warning: Your email message contained the word “attached”, however, there was no attachment on your message.

That is all. Simple and sweet… someone, make it for us, pretty please?
