Best Ideas of the Year

As in past years, the NYT Magazine has put together a list of the best ideas of 2008. Personally, I am partial to "Bubble Wrap that Never Ends," "Carbon Penance," "Positive Deviance," "The Quinn Solution," and the "Vending Machine for Crows."

On the other hand, the "Bus-Wait Formula" is empirically false - if you're walking across Manhattan, that is. It really doesn't take that long to glance behind you and see if the bus is coming.

Go read these - they're cool, and worth knowing about.
