Another slight digression but I would just like to call dibs on the word Wempire
I made it up(as far as I know) and it’s hilarious and or mildly amusing.
It is a portmanteu of web and empire, original I know, but unlike Blog which might be the most unfortunate neologism of the 21st centurey thus far, Wempire is both sonically and conceptually ascendant. For some reason Wempire makes me think of Julius Ceasar drinking out of a sippy-cup.
Wempires can best be thought of as vast tracts of virtual real estate, blog-facebook-myspace conglomerates, seas of link farms, porn kingdoms, a slightly derisive vision of the electronic frontiers, ripe for the taking; available to the rough and ready, the hardy adventurers who are willing to step outside of their digital doorsteps and claim thier lives as thier own; the viciers of the digital age. I will stop now.
Like an email service specifically for spam.
Brilliant.
Im not kidding….
(elaboration later perhaps)
This particular post is not delusional at all really. Nevertheless it needs to be posted somewhere.
Basically if you have ever read stories of death by crowd you know the value of what I am going to propose. Eye witness accounts of being forced beyond ones control to step over or on lifeless or even still living bodies, completely unable to do anything about it other than try your damnedest to not slip down.

Straws - giant flexible straws long enough to reach from the floor to the mouth of a person lying peacefully but thirstily in bed.
(this submission was inspired by a fantastic hangover)
The reason this would be an improvement over…say…a cup, is that in order drink from a cup one has to sit up, and in order to sit up one has to no longer be laying down; a tiresome and annoying procedure that is the exact opposite of what one is lying in a bed for in the first place.
Case Closed.
Whether or not the effort that would go into both the use and maintainence of a giant hangover straw would effectively counterbalance the abovementioned value of such a system is largely irrelevant. Any arguments to the contrary should reference the the fact that I do infact have a fantastic hangover and subsequently am not listening.
Could giant extra-geotic helio-orbital spaceballs be the key to mankinds collective future? Find out in the next installment of…this paragraph. Really the answer is almost certainly no, however this is the Delusional Grandeur Repository so according to the iteration of reality which is this repository..the answer is yes, yes giant spaceballs will be the endothermic and ultimately exothermic jesus christs of energy translocation systems.

Problem: Hospitals are often the worst place to take a sick person with a weakened immune system because there are so many diseases floating around, a majority of them resistant to modern medicines.
Possible solution: Pasteurization: the process of heating up an airtight container to I believe 140 degrees to kill most bacteria. If a hospital could be sectioned off so that an unused portion of it could be sealed and “cooked” along with as much hospital inventory, cots etcetera, as could be fit into it, a more effectively maintained sterile environment could be *cultivated*.
This process could be moved around the hospital continually to maintain a higher level of microbial safety. Maybe.
There are 2 reasons why..actually there are 3..or well really there are 4 reasons why all keyboards should use braille dots. The first and most important is for my convenience. If my keyboard was written in braille, presumably I would always know which key my finger was on. The dots on f and j help but not if I am playing a video game, which we can all agree, is extremely important. Second, it would be a pretty useful tool for learning how to type, something I still don’t do all that well (lot’s of speed, not a lot of accuracy). Third, blind follks might kinda sorta appreciate being able to use any and all keyboards. And lastly, we would all know how to read braille.
The only possible downsides to this is the unkown potential for finger irritation due to repetitive minor abbrasion, and the somewhat insignificant retooling costs of keyboard manufacturers(they have to retool rather regularly anyway)
Yes floss rings. Make a little finger hole hoop on the back of the floss dispenser, the disk kind, and you got a floss ring.
The advantages of such a setup are numerous: you basically have a ready made solid anchor in the form of the floss dispensor with which to apply the tensional force neccessary to achieve the sublime act of rubbing your tooth sides with wierd flat string. All that is required to complete this perfect design is a means of anchoring the anchor itself to you the operator; answer: a floss ring. You really also need some sort of notch like structure to keep the floss dispensor from dispensing indefinately. This is essentially a solution to the requirement of wrapping many lengths of floss around two different fingers in order to keep the floss from slipping, a practice which wastes both a lot of floss as well as much perfectly good grumbling which could otherwise be directed at far more meaningful recipients.
This of course only fixes the problem for one finger, but its better than none, and really who the hell is gonna buy, much less use a floss ring + ancilliary notched floss retainer-ring combo?
No one.
I have a fairly substantial backlog of ideas which would conform to the stated objectives o’ this site but I have always sorta had a thing for this one so it will be my first (post) (on this site) (actually my second but my first substantive non-administrative one anyway). And it just so happens to be on the prosaically fascinating subject of non-actuarial risk management.
So here goes. Insurance, as far as I am aware, only exists significantly in the form subscriber-compensation plans, i.e. I pay you some money at regular intervals in the hopes that someday you’ll give me a bunch more money when I really need it. This is obviously a good thing and has done a great deal towards lubricating and standardizing the wheels of capitalism. However there are some fairly significant economic disconnects with this system (a term I am rather fond of though i’ve never heard anyone use it except me). An economic disconnect is anytime a person makes a decision when they have little or no stake in the outcome of that choice. The easiest example is a government functionary of some sort who decides to take money from one person(taxes, fines) and give it to someone else (government contractors) the politician feels no personal loss from the appropriation of the citizens assets and likewise no personal gain from the proper or profligate spending of those assets, so instead bases thier choices on whatever he or she does have some emotional stake in which may or may not be anywhere near what the tax base gives two shits about. This isn’t about the merits of collective taxation though, it’s just a useful way of illustrating an economic disconnect.

Answer: I am talking, or at least intend on planning on talking, to myself in a pseudo public setting as a means of recording my alternatingly brilliant, rediculous, moronic, or simply odd notions, primarily for purposes of documentation, sussing out and overall life orientation. There also exists the laughably small notion (which somehow has managed to form the sole tautalogical basis for my enormous, albiet rather selective ego) that somehow these things that I will write in the future(I will I swear) are actually correct and therefore it is my stoic duty to both myself and the greater course of human civilization to see them realized even if that means going so far as writing them down and even publishing them on a blog that someone might accidentally read.
I also have this idea that this will move beyond just being a platform for my own rediculous notions and will someday grow to be a platform for everyone’s rediculous notions, providing a grand engine of grandeur fueled by a constant influx of reasoned lunacy. But this kinda should be its own post since it is exactly the sort of notion with which this page will purportedly be populated with. Also it would require a much more indepth, technical analysis of its structural and practical elements in order to qualify as anything more(or less) than complete bullshit, which would be a rather sizable and overbearing digression from the purpose of this post which is or atleast was to set out what I am setting out to achieve. Alright back on topic.
Actually I don’t really have anything else to say. It’s a blog where I will probably write stuff down which I think would be hella tight. The end. (or just the beginning)
