Free car pool site

I want to start a free web site for finding people to car pool with. I know some exist already, but I recon I can do it better.

You specify your daily trips:
* where from
* where to
* time of day
* estimated time of arrival
* number of spare seats you have
* number of people you currently in the pool

You are presented with a list of other pools that match (closely) your same trip. Once you agree to car pool, the pools are merged to create a single larger pool.

Initially it will be Melbourne Austraia only, but I expect it to grow fairly quickly.

Kettles should change colour

This is a repost from my original blog, but it's still a good idea.

If kettles change colour when they were hot, then you would know before you picked it up that you were handling boiling water.

An extention to this... a strip (or circle) of head sensative material that can be stuck onto your existing kettle to give the same benefits.

A place to bounce ideas around

This is a place for thought along the lines of "Wouldn't it be good if..."
Cerebral Ricochet... a place to bounce ideas around.
