Pain Blog

Like my Pandora of Pain, a blog that goes in search of discomfort that benefits health and well being. Challenges that break you down, but build you back up.

“It’s not self improvement, it’s self destruction.”

 

Idea Prompt App

“Part of the challenge of coming up with ideas every day, is thinking of what to have an idea about.”

It is a writing app that gives prompts for you to come up with ideas.

-“Give me ten things you can do with a fork, other than eat”

-“Think of ten fitness book titles for skinny fat people.”

Etc.

 

Umbrella re-Think Tank

An organization whose sole mission is to build a non-awful umbrella.

Have you ever had a happy experience with an umbrella? Have you ever seen a person wielding an umbrella in a storm, and not drenched from head to toe? It seems like the only thing umbrellas are really good for are slowing you down, and breaking.

This organization’s sole purpose is to start the design from scratch has, and build rain repellant that isn’t crap.

 

Try electronics at home

(stolen from Josh)

For a membership fee, you get sent a new electronic device to play with each month. If you like it, you keep it and we automatically charge you the full cost. If you don’t, just send it back.

There can be different membership tieres, that allow you to test electronics of various price points.

 

Human Voting Bots

I want to vote, but I don’t want to go to the poles, figure out where I need to vote, or leave work early. Instead, this service let’s me hire people to cast the votes for me (in states that don’t require photo ID to vote).

As proof, they send pics or a video of them casting the vote I want.
