TheAnaliser idea

The basic idea is to make economical analysis software (an application or DSL based library) that enables easy parametrization of a certain economic model. Example environmental cost of electric cars versus petrol cars versus liquefied gas cars, taking as inputs the several parameters, such as medium CO2 emission to produce the electricity, the medium loss to deliver it to the homes, the medium range for a given energy intake, etc.

It could also be used to estimate other economic models, such as the school system model in a given country. I.e., all public schools versus mixed public and private schools, versus all private schools with education checks.

Tweet a video idea

It would be nice to have a video app for tweeter, so that when you want to tweet in video instead of by picture or by 140 message text you could just place a tweet with a special purpose client, it would fire a video recording, record it, check it up (optionally) and hit the tweet button. It would publish the video in the video hosting site of your preference and, when finished, it would tweet a special purpose message it tweeter that the client would understand and so would the clients of your followers.

This could be made available for nothing in Mac, Linux and Windows, but, you could sell its clients as Smartphones' apps.

A distância que leva um louco à loucura é pequena

Tal como muitas frases de canções interessantes, lembrei-me desta à uns dias:

A distância de um louco à loucura é pequena.

Existe outra duma canção que me lembro do Sérgio Godinho que também gosto muito e que está algo relacionada:

Lá vamos nós com a cabeça entre as orelhas...

For eventual non-Portuguese readers, the following phrase came to my mind a few days ago:

The distance from a madmen to madness is small.

There is another phrase in a song by Sérgio Godinho which I also like very much and which I think is a bit related:

We follow along with our head between our ears...
