your very first ever five a day - day 1

Great business ideas which you are free to copy, plagarize, adapt, steal, sell, and/or otherwise use as you see fit:

1) yourfiveaday.blogspot.com: Ok, had to be the first one! :) It's a wonderful idea because I like to sit around and think. Who doesn't like to sit around and think? And thanks to your readership and continued contributions this will become a very successful business idea.

2) confirmed identity: The internet is constantly becoming more and more interactive. With programs like Second Life growing on the horizon there will surely be a whole new class of internet imposters. Confirmed identity would be a verification system, perhaps by allowing avatars to carry a C.I. stamp, somehow imbedded in their html DNA so that other members of any given community would be assured of the identity of those they are dealing with.

3) the fantasy idea: Start going to sommelier school. Delve in the inebriating history of wines from around the world. Then, quit your job. Start working at a wonderful restaurant apprenticing for a full time position. Can you imagine if your job was to actually taste wines for a living! Then after an appropriatly dignified tenure as a sommelier you could become a writer for a prominent wine magazine like wine spectator? Or start your own magazine! Basically, I like wine - this is only a great business idea if you take the words 'idea' and 'business' with a grain of salt.

4) Petite clothing store for young women: My girlfriend is always complaining about how ready-to-wear clothes never fit her. What a great niche to corner, especially in a slender, tight fitting market like New York. What is out there for petites is focused on an older crowd AND ususally relegated to a few racks tucked out the way!

5) Lost Energy Capture: I must preface by saying, "I am no physicist." I give credit on this one to my friend Dave (thanks dave). Every action requires a certain amount of energy. People working out on machines in the gym create a lot of dead energy. Stair stepping, bike machines, treadmills all require a certain output of energy from the user. Why not harness that energy and feed it back into the power grid? "How?" you ask. I don't know - I just collect interesting ideas.

Let's take this one even further. Is there not a way that we could harness vibrations on roads and bridges, walking sneakers, etc. to reclaim their energy? Any comments on these ideas? Glad to hear them.


Well, I hope you enjoyed this first posting on yourfiveaday. I'm always looking for contributions so feel free to drop me an email with your ideas. I figure - Hey! there's no way I'll ever pull these off - so why not put them out there for someone else!

Dream on, readers, dream on!
