Is it reasonable to think I could make an LED lamp inside a porcelain jar, with a proximity sensor to turn it on when the lid is open? I see adafruit has sensors & LEDs, but I'm not sure how much circuit design would be required (zero experience) or how many lights & how much power I need. I imagine it only becomes practical as a table lamp if I make it plug-in, but a battery option would be magical. Electronics should be small at the base of the jar.
I often think about making a new browser. I mean, as a business it sounds awful. But as a product to design, that would be a top choice. Browsers could help us make fun little websites with rss feeds, and follow our friends feeds. Your window to the web could also be your home online - customized & shareable, with open web standards. (Not a bot that says likely words scraped of context. What a total lack of vision for the web) Put myspace in a browser, you cowards.
If you're into new browser engines free from corporate control – maybe skip the latest 'benevolent dictator', and check out @Servo They have nightly snapshots you can install, and they're rolling out new features regularly:
