Would it be nice to get a coupon when you enter a store? Imagine an app like Foursquare meets Groupon. (They tried but could you make a better version of it?) How it works To work the app will need to have access to your location and let you build a profile by selecting your […]
This next series I’m surprised how many ideas I got concerning grocery shopping and meal planning. It seems it’s a real pain for us and I didn’t really realize it until I started writing these columns. The first idea from this topic is quite old, I added it before the IPhone launches. My girlfriend was […]

I thought, “Why isn’t there a daily deal for baby stuff”. There were probably some, but it was hard to find.The format of the site could be […]
This one comes from personal experience. First, when my wife was pregnant with our first kid, she had complications and had to stay put between the first and last trimester of pregnancy. However, there was basically no information about the impact of food on what she was living. Other than don’t eat sushi, don’t drink […]
