Generate Blog Article Ideas Using Futuristic Technoscripts
TBAG prototype, circa 2009
Out of ideas for your tech blog? Hey, it happens to the best of us.
Thankfully, we here at neoSprockets have graciously created the “Technology Blog Article Generator (TBAG)” — still working on that name.
TBAG, through a series of complex quantum asynchronous random variation algorithms, automatically produces relevant and eye-catching article topics relating to modern technology and society. Use this tool to stimulate that already overworked creative lobe of yours.

Simulating Trends: Why “Twilight” Is So Damn Popular
Vampiric popularity is inversely proportional to piratic popularity.
I’ve reached that point in my mid-twenties where I look toward the trailing generation with confused bewilderment. I prefer Grandpa Simpson’s explanation:
“I used to be ‘with it‘. Then they changed what ‘it‘ was.”
Small, unknown bands I used to listen to are suddenly selling out entire stadiums. Other bands that were once popular have retreated to Japan. Meanwhile, the crappy music those urban kids listened to five years ago is still topping the charts for some reason.
The rise and fall of fads seem chaotic at best. I’ve simply come to accept the fact that I won’t understand the popularity of the Jonas Brothers, just as I didn’t understand the popularity of their parents the Hansons. But how and why do trends like these spread?
Your Thesis = Free Vacation
"Finish it, bitch."
Need more incentive to finish your higher degree?
I mean, beyond the sense of prestige in holding a title that 90% of the US population will never achieved? Beyond the fulfillment of duty in serving the scientific community through hours of knuckle-hard research? And beyond the personal accomplishment in reaching your own well-fought educational milestones?
How about a free trip to Chicago?
Listen up kids. You know that thesis you’ve put off writing today to play another 5 hour session of Fallout 3? Some people might actually want to read it. And even better, some other richer people might want to pay for you to present it.
I’ve just returned from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics’ (AIAA) 2009 Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference in Chicago, Illinois.
My flight, rental car, hotel room, event registration, and personal expenses: covered.
Get Rich Selling Used Lottery Scratchers?
As seen on the ground of your local parking lot.
No. You probably won’t.
But if I’ve learned anything from every network news outlet it’s that you can print any ridiculous story heading with a qualifying question mark and not be penalized any journalistic integrity.
In actuality, this article is the first in a series of attempts at the “1 to 10 Challenge”, an exercise in outside-the-box thinking. The idea is simple: turn $1 into $10.
And for my first shot at the challenge, I’ll be selling used lottery scratchers on eBay.
