Status Update costume idea

Pretty easy, but funny: Find yourself a small, light dry erase board such as the ones you put on refrigerators, and hang it around your neck so that the board is in front of your chest. For the entire night, keep updating your status on that board. (ex. "(your name) is excited to be at this Halloween party" and "(your name) is tasting the onion dip that was just put out". A good idea to take it a step further is to make yourself some business cards with the infamous facebook "Like" icon, and leave it around the things you actually like.

Rep Counter

An annoying thing that happens when using weights to work out is losing count of your reps. It would be helpful to have some sort of device that you wear which counts the movements to a particular limb (the amount of times your arms curl, for example). It really wouldn't be too unlike a pedometer.

CDs on a junk drive

A few years ago, Nine Inch Nails released a song (or a few songs) on a pro tools session. I thought this was beyond innovative as they gave their listeners a chance to mix the NIN songs on their own. This made me wonder why more bands aren't jumping on creative ways like NIN did to push their albums (since the music industry can obviously use a boost in sales). Stop me if this already exists, but why not release an entire album on a junk drive? We all end up having to rip the CD onto our computers anyway, so why not simply put them on a drive so we can quickly import the files into our itunes? Different packaging and unique ideas like this may be something the labels need to help their sales and also keep up with the current technology.

Train text

I know mass transit companies have alert systems when trains are running late, but I wonder why they don't offer alert systems for specific trains and not just the rail line you are on. For example, if you take the 8:10am train every morning, it would be nice to subscribe to that specific train and receive a text in the morning notifying you that your specific train is late, and maybe even letting you know of other options you can take such as another train or bus. It sounds like a lot of work on their part, but I would assume it would all be computer automated...

St. Patrick's Day Party

Hosting a party for St. Patrick's Day, and looking for some Irish recipe ideas. We usually do the bar thing every year, but changing it up a little and don't want to disappoint the guests. Already got the corn beef and cabbage covered along with the Guinness, so I'm open to any and all suggestions. Also, any unique suggestions on how to "Irish" the place up aside from the standard clovers and green hats are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
