So true man, I guess I need to truly sit down and determine these things.
I love to do a lot of things, read, hang out, skate, which are a few
amongst other things. I guess my ideas will have to come from real-life
experiences, I'm going to chill out for 2 days this week and just think of
various things which I want or need, but have not found anything which
fulfills that. I'm going to jot everything down, and try to think about
way to implement them programmatically. We'll see how it works out.
