I was out jogging the other day.

At the end of my run, I wanted to buy a drink, but I soon realized that I have forgotten to bring along cash with me! I have my iPhone with me, but can it pay for my drinks?

I started to think of solutions..

Thinking: If everyone is a mobile ATM, and I could use my phone to transfer money electronically to these mobile ATM, it will be great! As long as they could “dispense” the money, I would not mind paying a commission fee for the service.

Not bad an idea.. Hence I am submitting it for Paypal X Developer Challenge.

Neil Gaiman, one of the most creative writer who writes stuff out of nowhere, explains how he gets his ideas..

In the post, he said everyone has some good ideas. Some people will approach him with the idea and ask him to write for them, and split the money 50-50..

I’m reasonably gracious with these people. I tell them, truly, that I have far too many ideas for things as it is, and far too little time. And I wish them the best of luck.

Developers are akin to authors.

I too, keep a long list of ideas.
