“Necessity is the mother of invention, it is true, but its father is creativity, and knowledge is the midwife”
-Jonathan Schattke
So, I make things that I need and share them every now and again. This is one that I’ve shared. The idea for Quick Outliner arose from a conversation with a friend about the extent to which law school could be automated. Naturally, the most tedious parts arose first and the idea of automated outline creation was born. Sites like outlinedepot.com notwithstanding, finding an outline for some of the more esoteric classes like Election Law, for example, are not trivial matters. What is easy, however, is compiling a list of citations for the cases that one has read in class.
Problem:
I want an easy way to indicate to motorists which direction I’ll be headed when biking at night.
Solution:
Cobble together a pair of gloves, a couple of arduinos, some flex sensors, and a bunch of LEDs for fun and profit. In other words, make a glove that blinks when the index finger is fully extended.
