Small storage rooms free to use

You know the storage rooms on trainstations and some shopping centers, where you drop a coin (10-20 DKK) to store your bag for a period.

I never have coins on me, so I though, why not let me store my stuff for free in exchange for some info...

The process:
1. I put my bag in the storage room
2. Closes the door
3. Locking the door by typing a password of my choise
4. Leaving....

5. Comming back, wanting to get my bag.
6. typing the password
7. If the password is correct, then I'm asked to answer a questionnaire of some kind.
could be:
- Polls about Politics or city plans
- Popular music/art...
- Semi personal: What was your purpose of your visit to this city
- Product related questions

The cost of having the storagerooms are sponsored by the questionnaires.

The questions shouldn't take too long to fill out, and should be anonymous.

Inner city beeing space for D-I-Y people

I recently moved to the "big" city of Copenhagen. Comming from the comfort of a house with adjacent garden, toolsheet and plenty of room for my powertools, i suddently found myself having trouble dooing the simplest things. No room for my workbench, and no place where i can make a bit of a mess without the girlfriend gooing through the roof.

Then i remembered this:

http://www.springwise.com/lifestyle_leisure/sewing_cafe_in_berlin/

The idea i simple, in this sweing cafe you get multiple things: Social network, help, machinery (if you don't have your own), space and storage.

Projecting this idea onto my missing garage/work-space i'm thinking of a Work-café where you can come in to make the new shelf, fixing your bike, reparing the chairs and so on.

The place should provide:

- Storage space for your projects and own powertools

- Crowd ordering of materials to get good prices

- Ordering from house-suppliers to get special deals

- Tools to lend if you don't have the rigth tool for the job yourself

- Community workstations for everybody to use (maybe book online)

The cafe will provide a social network you seldomly get in your own garage, and the comfort and safty of collective skils to ensure you in undertaking large/new projects.

DK| Cafemiljøer stimulerer it-innovatører

Cafemiljøerne danner infrastruktur for en helt ny innovationsbevægelse af “high-tech-nomader”.

Jeg har kommenteret på bloggen fra CW på bla. nedenstående aspekter.

Disse cafemiljøer er i dag alle udstyret med high-speed wi-fi (trådløst internet), og danner en helt ny underliggende infrastruktur med top vibrationer, for en helt ny innovationsbevægelse af “high-tech-nomader”, der primært bekender sig til mobile teknologier og web 2.0-tidsånden.


Hvad, den nye high-tech nomadebølge i San Francisco-området også viser, er, at infrastrukturberebet til stadighed bliver bredere og bør forholde sig til potentielle brugsværdi-optimeringer af eksisterende fysiske rammer, mobilitetsadfærd, de praktiske rammer omkring nye arbejdsformer og sociale netværksdannelser.

Get personal with your public elected

Go-cards - we all know... Small simple idea is to have Go-cards pre-addressed to political parties, making it easy to let them hear your voice.

Could be combined with a poll on each card, giving the party something in return for listening to your ideas and complaints ...

The Leftovers Restaurent

Inspired by a Springwise spot regarding a restaurent with no kitchen, but a collection of menu-cards from the nearby fast-food supplyers, I though of having a restaurent where you brought your leftovers - for others to enjoy while you enjoy leftovers that are not your own.

Now i know a lot of health issues is envolved here !!! And I'm not a judge when it comes to the reality of implementing such an idea.

Because of the health issue, i thought that the main issue for most people would be trusting the other "food supplys" so i came up with the idea that the food your shared should be with your friends, so the restaurent should support both a eat with your friends get togeather to eat, and a get offered what your friends might have submitted ... and only what your friends have submitted.

Food should ofcause be free, only paying for any heating or preperation nessasary.

Now again i know the idea is loos, so i put a charity angle on it - make a leftover restaurent for the homeless. People would then donate last nights leftovers to the restaurent, wich would then serve it to the homeless anytime of the day.

Again donating dry-goods would also bee a good place to do this, dry-goods has the quality to stay fresh for a long time, and homeless would be able to carry it with them to the streets. Dry-goods can also be sent to poor countries.

Get your shopping done for you!

Over a year ago i read an article in the springwise.com newsletter, the story of a restaurant without a kitchen. The restaurant instead offered dishes available from the nearby fast-food restaurants. Going to this restaurant you had the opportunity to choose from a wide range, and going as a group not everybody has to settle fro pizza!!

In Aarhus a shoppingmal offers men the opportunity to get their Christmas shopping done for them, while they enjoy a cop of coffee reading the newspaper or just in general - Not shopping.

In a 2 min. talk with one of my colleagues we had talked up this idea.

Why not have a company / coffee shop offer this service, including all shops in downtown ??

Company's should of cause agree on being available through this coffee shop, where a multiple search tools should let the customers brows through all products from all shops - finding the best or just the right one each time.

The coffee shop would then go and get all the items from the different shops, for the customer to see, and possible choose. If chosen the items will be payed directly to the coffee shop, which in turn then pays each shop for the item.

A matter of trust between each shop and the coffee shop should of cause be established, because items will actually be taken out of their shops without paying ( some collateral should be given from the coffee shop to each shop)
