Commodity exchanges?

People today are so into exchanges. We have stock exchange, money exchange, currency exchange, commodity exchange. Oh yeah, coming to that. What are the commodities of today? Paper? Wood? Currency? Stocks?

What about human innovation and creativity? Ideas born of a personal itch? Cool ones that help scratch other's itches? Well here's a cool idea: idea exchange

Sounds pretty fun and interesting. However I do wonder what kind of environment and type of business would this be most helpful in?

Focus vs Multi-task

Can they coexist?

Focus:
1. Close or narrow attention; concentration
~ The Free Dictionary @ http://www.thefreedictionary.com

2. The concentration of attention or energy on something
~ WordReference.com @ http://www.wordreference.com

Concentrate on 'something' instead of 'many-thing' ? =)

More interesting, what is multitask?

Multitask is the verb of multitasking and multitasking means:
The concurrent operation by one central processing unit of two or more processes
~ The Free Dictionary @ http://www.thefreedictionary.com

Hmm.... so that begs the question of are human brains to be considered a form of 'central processing unit' ? After all, humans are suppose to be able to function in a parallel form and multitask. Very interesting thought on that. I wonder what recent progress has been made in trying to replicate human brain function by simulating single unit neurons and linking them together in software.

So idiotic

Life is good,
Life is great!

I feel like such a complete idiot but what the heck, at this stage, in this situation, I'm game for anything, even try out this one heck of a corny trick called positive verbal self reinforcement thingy.

Darn.
