Idea: Ikea with 2D code bars + iPhone app = love

Here is the pitch:
As you know when you tour the expo room of Ikea, you have to take note of the serial number and the location in the self-serve depot.
How about saving trees and start offering an iPhone/Android app that scans a 2D code bar, makes you a shopping list, gives you real time update regarding in-stock quantities, and of course, the location in the depot.

Simple, easy, efficient….I love it! Ok Ikea? :)

Day 13 & 14….and the end

Day 13 started by a disgusting breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. Their tag line is: “America is running on Dunkin”….No wonder obesity is a problem! We then left Quincy (which incidentally is the home city of DD) to Cape Cod. We followed the coast as much as possible up until Sagamore. It took us 3.5h to get to the cape but boy it was worth it!

Day 12

Aaaah Boston. We fell in love with the city. We both could very well see ourselves live here. We spent most of the day just driving around. We also visited Harvard and MIT, and we were impressed by the respect it imposes…it’s a bit like visiting churches of knowledge.

Day 11

Not much to say today. We drove all the way to Denvers, just north of Boston. That was a 700km ride. We thought we’d do it on the coast but it was sooo slow that we moved to the high way as soon as we could (that was 200km later…siiiigghhh)

Day 10

A rather uneventful day today. To be frank, we were happy to stop and relax early. We had bad weather all day and we drove up to Saint-John by the coast

Day 9

After a nice night in a Hotel in Sydney (not a Motel mind you!) that we took to celebrate the Cabot Trail, we’re back at camping, right next to the beach. We drove all the way across NS right before Cap Chignecto, on the northen border with NB. The drive went awesome, especially since we did it at anverage of 140 on the highway with a red Corolla and a Pontiac, both driven by chicks…and not a single cop car on the highway. I love Nova Scotia.

Day 8

This is it. The cabot trail is done. Was it worth it? oh yes. Is it overhyped? not at all. Unfortunately, i don’t have any pictures to upload, but they wouldnt do justice to the Trail…I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of absolutely stunning sceneries to do it at last once in their life. it’s 400 kilometers of amazingness. It was, however extremely taxing because Bob and I gave 110% on this one.

Day 5

Aaaah New Brunswick. I have mixed feelings about this province. For starters the roads are realllllllllyyyyyyy bbbbooorrriiinnnggggg. Huge stretches of straight highways with nothing to see beside woods and 2 or 3 cars once in a while. We didn’t see a single speed trap or cops there, we wondered who it would hurt to put the speed limit to 160 on a 4km straight line…. The road between Marimichi and Moncton knocked us out.
