10 Ideas Blog

The 10 Ideas Blog was inspired by the words of James Altucher in his National Best Seller, Choose YourselfEach week, we sit down and challenge our brain to come up with ten ideas for new inventions.  This is a great exercise for anyone to participate in, and sometimes we come up with really great concepts (and sometimes, they’re a little crazy!) Our father, Ben Greenfield wrote an article about why this is such a good idea, and you can read that article here.

 In this installment of 10 Ideas, we were inspired by the major temperature changes lately.  We were thinking of all sorts of things hot and cold – from pools to snowball makers.  While we love a lot about winter, we were thinking a lot about summer fun too! 

Terran on Hot & Cold

I, Terran, love both seasons – hot and cold.  For the summer, I’d love there to be an extendable pool, so it wouldn’t take up much space in the yard when no one was using it, but could be extended to be big enough to have lots of friends over for a swim party.  In the winter, the pool could serve as a barrier to hide behind for giant snowball fights.  That’s why I want an automatic snowball maker, so I’m always armed and ready!

River on Hot & Cold

I, River, was thinking more about how hot and cold change things, although I did think it’d be fun to have a giant inflatable pool with built in slide.  I was imagining color-changing objects though, that change based on the temperature.  Instead of making a bunch of color changing things, I figured it would be easier to have paint colors that changed based on heat, and that could be used on almost any object.
