        Iranians say "Qorbun-e jigaret" a lot, which means "I'm the sacrifice for your liver."  Is this just <a href="http://www.coolzaban.org/index.php/site/category/C286/" >t'Arof</a>, or are Iranians more likely to be organ donors?  If they aren't, can we design an organ donation campaign around "Qorbun-e jigaret"?  Better yet, let's design an App!

        Here is an idea for a "Hitchhiker App" - A cross platform App that works with cars and phones to connect drivers and hitchhikers visiting common destinations or routes. The App draws from transportation and other databases. Makes transport more efficient while reducing isolation and increasing social cohesion.

        The June 12 Election has sparked a crisis in our country.  As events unfold, one thing is certain:  No one knows how this will actually play itself out.  There are too many variables and too many unknowns.  There will be speculation, rumor, and assertion about what happened, what is happening, and what will happen.  Like everyone else, I'm trying to make sense of unpredictable and inexplicable realities.  But everything I think appears in my head surrounded by a host of disclaimers, skepticism, anxiety, righteousness.
