Developed/Technical Ideas -------------------------------- 'Playthreads' plugin for FB2K. A new playthread is created any time the user chooses to play a song anywhere outside of a playthread; user can change between playthreads, pick up right where they left off (e.g. in the middle of a randomized all-songs playthread). Playthreads are essentially auto-created playlists consisting of the PC-decided song order, which was based off a single user action (playing one song with certain settings in certain playlists, such as shuffle and repeat in an album playlist). A program which runs in the background, and when it detects a certain (technically text) file in the root of a newly-detected drive, it loads a bunch of keyboard shortcuts and other user-defined environment parameters from it, and maybe pops up a GUI to indicate this and to show the user the information associated with said drive. (e.g. Plug in a drive, navigating that drive's folders, ctrl+~+(key) creates a new folder or file with a certain name, opens a program on the drive, etc. Also, capable of insta-swapping desktop contents upon drive connect and drive removal, maybe swapping out other customizeable Windows parameters. Stereo Wasp - A very portable battery-powered device sharing a vague resemblance to a wasp. Plugs into the headphone jack of any portable device, clings onto the device, and is highly adjustable to suit most devices. Supplies a stereo pair of speakers (in the 'wings') with high-quality stereo sound, potentially with an extra speaker or two as small subwoofers. Wing spread is widely adjustable, to suit e.g. an iPod Nano, to an iPad, to a large-screened laptop. Will ot hinder the user's grip of/way of holding the device. A song about all the years (maybe 3-4?) it takes to heal from the scars and pain of high school days and adolescence.
