Category — #01 Business a Week Project

This has seemed obvious to me for years, and I just can’t find anyone who does it.  A full-service business that puts a 3D rendering of your business onto Google Earth.  That program was all the rage, and is still pretty cool, and allows users to submit 3D renderings of famous buildings, etc.  The obvious part is the amount of traffic that will come inherent to any random dude who puts a crappy version of his house on there–in a few minutes you can put a box on there, call it your house, and everyone who looks at your city from then on will see a giant 3 dimensional box called Colin’s house.  It seems, with so little oversight, one could easily springboard a basic knowledge of CAD, etc. into posting people’s businesses onto Google Earth.  So someone would hire me to come out, measure their business, possibly with nothing more than a tape measure and a GPS in hand, and then render it beautifully in Google Sketchup.  It’s a precise enough skill that there’s an inherent barrier to entry, so they can’t just call the architect who did their house and have him save his CAD file in Google Sketchup format any cheaper than I can do it.  So call me, people, and I’ll launch this business.  One SWOT benefit of mine is that I already have multiple employees with solid CAD experience (now being used to render blueprints, etc. at my shop.)  (415) 827-5630.

So I thought this morning it would be a fun and successful website to start a WordPress-driven blog along the lines of listing inoffensive and unoffensive expletives and interjections.  By that I mean people would google onto, and check daily or RSS any site that is just a big growing list of fun words to say when someone steps on your toes–and of course I’m filtering that down to words that don’t have traditional swear words in them.  Day one’s post could be “thump!” with a short essay about where the submitter has seen it used and in what context.  I think people would google onto such a site all day long, RSS feed it and send it to their friends if they’re the type of people who use such words or would like to, teach their kids to say them when they want to swear, and eventually name bands after some.

Thump!
“Based on the Caldecott Award winning kids’ book, the new qubo series My Friend Rabbit chronicles the wide-eyed adventures of Rabbit, his best friend Mouse, and a group of other colorful characters from across the animal kingdom. As Mouse says, Rabbit means well…but somehow just can’t avoid getting into sticky situations! But if they work together, they can solve each dilemma with ingenuity, creativity and, most of all, friendship.”  This show plays on Saturday mornings on qubo and on ION during the week, and the main character, the loving Rabbit, screams “Thump!” whenever he has a good idea or other cause for interjection.

Anyone like this idea, or have any suggested words?  Fetch!, fiddlesticks!, shazaam!, zargles!, …?
