TempleOS is finished. God made it.

I am waiting to be CEO of Intel so I can glorify God's temple.

It will be world news.

I am in prison.

Yes. A fully automated business for 3D prints of ultrasound scans in glass cubes. The USP is that you upload a low res scan (most doctors don't want to give you access to the full 3d data) whereupon it does image processing to create a 3d point cloud which it puts into a reverse engineered laser engraving format. If payment is processed on the bundled website it then sends the engraving file and delivery sheet to a s…

Interesting - don't patients have a right to see their medical scans in full quality under HIPAA [1]? I have successfully requested DICOM files from an MRI scan I did (although it was from a study, not a hospital).

I'd be tempted to giveaway http://spendful.com to the right person.

Wow. I was going to build this exact same thing. And I still might. Would love to chat. My emails in my profile-- didn't see yours.

Also interested in something like this but I don't think I have time to do it on my own. If you end up taking it up and would like some help, give me a shout.

My email is miguel at .com

I had been building http://wishcan.com, a drag-and-drop travel planner, and will hand it off to someone willing to continue the work. Trip planning is difficult to get right, and notoriously hard to find a business model for. I think it's simply because no one has gotten the UI/UX perfect. I am now working on an IoT platform called http://smartxlab.com

Cannot agree more with wishcan. I sketched up a few different ideas for something like this, but never pushed on because I thought integrating with hotels, airlines, etc. Would painful. Also figured I'd need to automatically parse email confirmations, which would be a PITA.

What is it written in and how much work is left to do?
