Archimedes Greek Yogurt
Yogurt containers aren't currently designed to do much more than hold yogurt. True, "yogurt in a tube" is nearly perfect in terms of being industrially designed for maximum yogurt removal. However, you must be a NASA engineer, a pro cyclist, or a toddler in order to look even remotely cool while evacuating a tube of hypercolor yogurt product into your gullet.
While I'm at it, here's another major issue I know you're thinking about: Why can't there be some kind of cool everyday off-the-shelf container that can also be used as a water pump, air pump, or a cheap splash weapon?
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE IT ALL?
Now you can actually have it all with my new pre-Kickstarted innovation, "Archimedes Greek Yogurt". The yogurt comes in a much more sturdy plastic or vegetable resin container that sports a single groove running around and down the side of the container. It resembles a screw.
When you're done with your delicious Greek yogurt, you simply scrape your spoon at a 45 degree angle along the inside channel of the container all the way to the bottom. All the yogurt rescued in one 15 second activity.
The container is then much cleaner for rinsing as well, which you'll need to do when you will be re-using it as a stomp rocket foot pump. Or a cheap accordion. Or an Edison Phonograph Cylinder. Or an Archimedes screw. Or a water container. You can also recycle it. Whatever you want. Booyakashah, and thank you.

STEAM grant proposal: "Ceasefire 2013"
Respectfully submitted by Aaron Bruce Campbell on May 17th, 2013
Introduction and Background:
The following is a recent picture of the tattoo, accented with a 12v solar car battery trickle charger. As an image, it represents individual energy freedom resulting from a renewable power source. Just trying to sum it all up for myself, I ended up with my life becoming the core idea for an educational STEAM grant
(Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) proposal.
Summary:
Using crowdsourced funds with affordable buy-in shares, the plan is to design a global ceasefire system by the end of 2013, based on energy independence education. The original intent is to use a Kickstarter-centered project funding system, but other funding instruments are possible.
The STEAM team in this case would initially be myself and 4 other principal designers collaborating to satisfy all 5 STEAM educational requirements while educating kids and their parents on personal energy efficiency, and how it impacts regional energy production and consumption.
Methodology:
The core idea challenge is coming up with an open-source system of meme transmission that automatically self-perpetuates without danger to the person who promotes it. This open source contributive model is required since all human beings are directly involved by the nature of the project itself. Basically, people need a vehicle to express their desire to join all other people for in a global ceasefire, and that vehicle is the internet.
Fractal Path to Success:
A personal ceasefire agreement is required from each individual, and must be worded legally and efficiently. Each household made up of individual agreements signs up through a secure encrypted website that is locally administered through a public community center. Each community center communicates with signatories about agreements with other local community centers, collaborating to reduce neighborhood violence while increasing neighborhood energy self reliance. Districts comprised by energy neighborhoods work together within energy regions to distribute energy resources at lower loss-distances. Nation-states are only required to ensure public land resources are ecologically managed. After signing the nation-state ceasefire agreement (based on compiled regional signatures), nation-states will use their own military forces to provide initial required resources, technologies, labor force, and security logistics.
Funding Target and Increments:
Initially, I calculated a $500,000 USD budget proposal with each STEAM educational member getting $100,000 sub-grants, but I opted for a more reasonable $84,000 sub-grant amount. This makes the full request $420,000, split up into five sub-grants.
Initial minimum share comes to $42.00 USD.
Action Step Options:
1. Make an initial pledge of $42.00 USD on the Ceasefire 2013 Kickstarter page.
2. Share and Like this blog post on your social networks.
3. Calculate the ROI of reducing energy losses in your home and workplace.
4. Calculate the ROI of adding renewable energy generation appliances and systems to your buildings with the goal of becoming net-positive.
5. Make smart investments in energy loss reduction retrofits and remodelling, then invest in renewable energy production.
6. Gather with neighbors to design a robust energy interdependence program alongside your disaster prevention and response programs.
That's about it. Please comment sincerely and respectfully.

One Idea
Share this idea: We can create a meme that is spread by its logic alone; that the biggest challenge and solution is absolute baseline human equality.

Description of ABC's "Infinity Set Theory"
abc's non-alphabetical description of "{∞} Infinity Set Theory"
"{∞} Theory" or "Infinity Set Theory" : Aaron Bruce Campbell's philosophical and typographic offer of a single symbol to represent the idea of merging a grand unified theory in physics with the spiritual essence of The One G0D, in an era of harmonious human peace. The universe is infinitely big and only so small. At either end of the spectrum, giant unknowable metaphysical secrets are generally referred to as the spiritual essence of G0D. G0D's physical presence is built from waves of undulating electric dust in a universal energy sea.
"{∞}" (typography, scientific claim, and etymology) The symbol of infinity "∞" is set between two curly brackets, representing the smallest particle of which there are infinite amounts in the Universe. As a phrase, it's "the idea of infinity, both smallest and largest". Scientists refer to the current smallest physical bit of energy-matter as the Higgs-Boson, which theoretically moves around in space in a figure 8 pattern in all dimensions. Energy is itself matter at the absolute smallest scale, moving at or approaching the speed of light. The Universe (or Multiverse) is represented by the number of things and energy that it's made of, and that number is infinity. Typing out "{∞}" is intentionally complex since it is attempting to represent the entire universe and humanity's place in it using 3 keyboard characters. Gravity and Love are represented in a doubled loop of birth and death for humans.
"{∞}" and humanity: The human interaction with the Universe is primarily gravitational. We don't fly away from the earth due to gravity. Gravity is based on mass, and mass equates directly to energy. Gravity at the galactic scale is the key to the spinning of our planet Earth in its axis around the Sun. We are socially pulled toward each other as humans, and we must also combine in a special way in order to reproduce. This drawing toward each other is our gravity, or to put it another way, our love. Humans are connected to the universe and to each other scientifically due to love. I believe G0D is the infinite universe that loves itself down to its very smallest components and everything in between. Humans are an equally magical part of that fractal dance of love between the entire physical universe and individual quantumphysical energy-wave base bits.
World peace: the primary goal of humanity's progressive drive toward prosperity and security, with the initial act of a prompt and secure ceasefire and subsequent steady multilateral disarmament. It will be designed by the biggest number of humans to ever make a single set of specific decisions together. It will require significant resources to make the final successful offer and then coordinate the entire group, but the risks are dwarfed by the reward of ongoing security, prosperity, and peace. World peace is emergent, attainable, economical, realistic, and necessary. World peace is required for humanity to make it to the next level of their development, and without it humans usher their own extinction even more quickly than through climate change. World peace can only be designed properly when its architects and builders are not in fear of their lives, and each individual human retains identical basic human rights.
Ending Capital Punishment: the human-scale equivalent and fractal component of world peace is an end to interpersonal violence, and an end to all killing sanctioned by the government. In the same way that huge financial savings are concurrent with ending armed national and civil conflicts, trillions of dollars will be saved when we move beyond the need to kill people who kill. Ending capital punishment will reduce violence and associated costs immediately.
Permanent ownership of what's inside or attached to your skin: A direct precursor to world peace, the idea that every human on planet earth owns everything inside or attached to their own skin. A human owns their life and body from the moment it's disconnected from their mother's umbilical cord, until their own death. Simply agreeing to a scientifically verifiable definition of human life on planet earth with save trillions of dollars. If you own what's inside or attached to your skin, then you become an official living human only when your umbilical cord is cut, and you always get the last choice on whether or not you remain alive.
