The ancients knew that the forms of matter could be categorized in certain ways before the rise of the scientific method. All cultures had a basic and fundamental grasp on the states of matter via earth, water, air, and fire. Which is comparable to the fundamental concept of solid, liquid, gas and plasma. But this is Western notion.
In the East they also thought of matter being composed of earth, water, fire but ignored air and included metal and wood. Why did they not include air? Didn't they notice bubbles in water or smoke? Who knows, but the inclusion of metal and wood may seem odd. But like the four simple states of matter it shows a primitive grasp of science.
The Chinese-Eastern inclusion of metal and wood as primary elements in the ancient way shows that they could sense that matter could be divided in to metals and non-metals. When you look at the periodic table of elements you see that 'modern scientific' elements generally come in two 'genders' - metal and non-metal. Wood is essentially composed of non-metal elements! Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur!
Basically a few Ancient Chinese thinkers recognized that 'matter' is composed of metallic material and wooden (organic) type material. The modern elements on the upper right hand of the table are the most abundant elements for life and wood - Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur.
The great coincidence is that the nation that is the best mix of East and West - Russia - first came up with the periodic table of elements, thank you Mr. Mendeleev.

Why does X-Box make the font so freaking small?
Hey X-box makers, please give uses the option of making the text larger! We all don't have big screen TVs. It's kinda' of impossible to read the text, most of the time!
Universal Language? Esparanto? No! Try Sign Language!
Sign Language is the key for an international language. Forget Esperanto! Besides sign language is quiet and useful in certain situations like underwater and opens the rift between deaf and non-deaf people. Made up international spoken languages paint people into corners and are more susceptible to mutation and you will always run into a group of people who can't make certain sounds! The hand would be the virtual-visual tongue.
The sign for dog in Russian, Chinese, English, Arabic, and Spanish would be the same!
Instead of trying to build a new language with grammar rules and such - sign language would be easier and abates many grammar rules. Think about it - build on the original language instead of coming up with new grammar and pronunciation rules which only confuse the brain.
Think about the middle finger, thumbs up, and peace sign?

A proposal for a standard metric pronunciation of English?
Potato vs Potatoe, Soda vs Pop, Colour vs Color,
English is a very irrational language. A few years ago there was a 'joking' call for a standard spelling system called Euro-English, due to the inherent disorder found in English.
Even Ben Franklin tried to invent a few new letters to make spelling more easy. He was on to something...but everyone laughed at his idea.
Aussies, South Bound Yanks, Canadians, Scottish, and Kiwis have they own way of sayin' words - it'd be easier to leave the spelling alone and come up with auxiliary way of reading a word no matter how you spell it! It'd be the Metric English Pronunciation.
Thus color or colour dosen't matter - but when pronounced with Metric English rules you'd know how it was spelled since Metric English Pronunciations would account for the difference!
Call me crazy, but it's easier than trying to make a society alter their spelling methods. I once met an Canadian who threatened my life for my 'American Spelling' of humor with out the U.

The toilet handle with still jiggle in 2052
There is one thing for sure in the year 2057 the toilet handle will still jiggle. We have easy going suitcases, automatic ice machines, but we still have the same crappy water and pump system that easily builds rust and corrosion and maligns with the toilet. The toilet has been jiggling in 1952, 1992, and will jiggle in 2012 and 2052. When will they build a better jiggle free toilet system?

OGL, people who cause the Ooga Gruga Loop
When people or situations get under your skin and annoy you when they are not there have caused you to enter the mental state of OGL, or the Ooga Gruga Loop.
Bad Bosses, bad teachers, and bad rivals use the OGL method on purpose or by subliminal intuition - it's a common methodology for psychic vampires and people with warped connections to the divine.

Social Studies Education at the Fundamental Level
I hope in the future that social studies classes will teach more about the local government. The basic and often accessible unit of government is often ignored. People write and focus on presidents, senators, and high level officials. But the closest to home representatives on the local level are rarely taught today in US Civic Classes.
Political education at the Township Level was completely skipped over in my school district. It is at this level of government, where ordinary citizens can have an impact. I wish my school would have taught more about the roles of municipal and county governments.
Change America from the bottom up, its more harmonious than top down.

Understanding the Heart Lesson K-12 - the balance of Me Time and We Time
Every kid and adult knows what the heart icon looks like, but in reality bears little resemblance. This lesson will lay the foundation for understanding the flow of blood in the four chambered human heart and the dynamic of taking and receiving.
Create a heart and divide it into four chambers with a peace sign. On the right side of the heart students should write down and draw things and emotions that they want from loves ones and the world, while on the left side of the heart they should write down things and emotions they want to give to the others and outside world.
The right side of the heart serves to energize and replenish the blood and body. It takes - it takes oxygen from the world. The left side gives - it gives oxygen to the body, and whatever work the body does it gives it to the world.
This mirrors the political dynamics of the right wing which seems to be preoccupied with the service to self, and the left wing that seems to be preoccupied with service for others. Too much of self leads to selfishness and jealousy, while helping others too much leads can lead to starvation and fatigue. You need a healthy balance of both.
If your work day feels mostly, like simple breathing then your are extremely balanced. If your work day leaves you exhausted and worried then you need more me time, but if you find yourself surrounded by paranoid jealous rivals, you might be taking too much me time and need to make some we time.
The peace sign is important since the heart is the part of the body that works to please your whole body. The stomach is selfish, the groin is nuts, the mind can be lead astray. But the heart is true, and wants all parts of the body and world to be happy. Whether you believe it or not the heart of your worst enemy still loves you, its the enemy mind that has been led astray.

We the People, select which cable channels get our cable bill money!
In today's vastly expanded computer world. We should be able to choose our cable channels and which network should get our money! Free the system. Let the people choose!
Some people abscond at the fact that part of their cable bill goes to Comedy Central, MTV, BET, or Fox News.
Imagine - a liberal Lyxn News channel to challenge Fox News, a Music Television Channel that plays music and music you like, a Comedy Channel with your kind of humor, the YET Channel - Yellow Entertainment Television?

Olympic Broad Casting Freedom
The Olympics is a virtual 50 ring circus and usually one network is allowed to broadcast a few chosen programs. It doesn't cost too much to hire new young and cheap reporters. And the cost of camera technology and computer networking can turn anyone with a film degree into a private studio.
The 2012 Olympics will be all over the net with or without official network coverage so you gals and guys better get with the program. Free up the coverage and bid on each event like they would at Wall Street. I bet you'll make even more money doing it that way, and people who want to watch baseball, swimming, or soccer can do so with out being forced to watch events that don't have much interest in.
And banning cellphones and camera's from the audience is just impossible unless you want the games in North Korea.

Editing the English Language Key Board!
I have a few improvements for the key board. The space bar is a waste of space.
Are you a left thumbed space bar user or right thumber? Right now type something and watch (or rather just think) which thumb hits the space bar more? Maybe you are ambi-thumberous?
Well I wish they could split up the space bar into more than one key! Imagine the left side space bar taking up the backspace function. I don't like it that the 'backspace' key is way out by pinky land, it slows me down. You could even have the middle part of the space bar made into the delete key! And for people who are stuck on a big space bar then give them the option of setting the keyboard to that configuration.
Also they need to put four keys below the space bar - the arrow keys! It'd be so much more easier to type, unless you are a pick and pecker.
Also the Windows control icon needs to be moved. I have hit it too many times, and the computer goes nuts. If you have a control panel key, put it somewhere else!!!! Or at least give us the option of turning it off or putting it on another key?
I wish users could configure their own keyboard, like they do with video games!
Also why don't pre-installed web cams come with an eye lid. Why must must the machine always be looking at you? Maybe there is another reason?

Your Egg Genesis Chinese Zodiac Sign
Did you know....... that you have another birth date? It deals with the genesis of the egg that you 'hatched' out of?
Which came first the chicken or the egg? I don't know but the fact remains that your Egg that was you came first before your Sperm.*
We have an egg genesis date that is in sync with our mother's birthday. This means that the first cell that became you arrived in this universe a few moths before your mother was born.
When do you measure the beginning of your life? At the moment of birth, conception? Maybe at the first cell to become you? Meaning at creation of the egg and sperm that was essentially your first step in existence? They are all valid dates of your birth/genesis. But the first cell to form that was different from either of your parents that eventually became you was the EGG.
Statistically speaking - your mom may be younger than your dad, but when we factor in the Egg Genesis Date. Your mom may be older than your dad, with certain qualifiers.
Basically all the eggs a woman carries in her lifetime come into reality while she is still in the womb. Thus all brothers and sisters from the same mother have nearly the same egg genesis date.
What this means is that we can easily determine your Chinese Zodiac, for most people unless your mother was born in May or June, because that would put them on the cusp of the Zodiac Calendar. But nonetheless the formula for figuring out your Egg Genesis Birthday is about 4 months minus your mothers birthday. With that information you can easily figure out what year or sign your 'Egg' was created under.
*Unless you were a test tube baby and the donor sperm is older than your maternal Grami's regular birthday!
