Apple just approved my latest creation, Nebulous Notes, which does one thing, and one thing really well: edit text files in the cloud. If you're like me, you are constantly editing text files, and based on my survey of all the available tools out there, Dropbox is the smartest way to backup your files and access them anywhere.

Nebulous Notes lets you edit your text files that are stored on your Dropbox. Here are some screenshots, see for yourself:

Reviews have already started to trickle in! Here's what AppAdvice.com had to say: "This is quite possibly the best tool for any writer, blogger, or journalist that needs to get work done on-the-go, and also live by Dropbox, which is one of the easiest ways to manage files in the cloud."

If you're a developer, I've also open-sourced the file management interface, which shouldn't take no more than an hour to integrate into your iOS apps. For example, if you have an app that lets you record memos or organize photos, rather than forcing users to FTP their files off their iPhone, or have to email the files to themselves, or sync to their iTunes, you can just let them save to their Dropbox accounts.

Initially, the first post on your blog will be read by less than ten people. But over time, if your blog gets a following, this post becomes very important to the fans who take the effort to dig through your archives. So to you—you hypothetical audience—I say, "Hello! I'm glad you're enjoying this site."

I asked my dad today, "How many hours do you actually work in a week?" He was taken aback by the question and replied, "Well, do you count the time I spend thinking about new ideas for my clients or being on the lookout for opportunities?" I replied, "No, I'm talking about work work."

But he persisted, "But while I'm driving, I'm planning how I want to negotiate a certain deal. Or when I go to Barnes & Noble after dinner, I'm reading The Economist to get ideas on where things are going."

I let my dad off the hook, but his response reminded me much of myself. I use everything in my day to instruct my thinking and ideas. I have a way of ascribing a "will to succeed" to everything. If I see a copy of the New York Times, I see a company fighting for a role in a world that no longer needs them. When I fumble with the three remote controls needed to operate my TV, I see a problem in search of a product. Everywhere I go, my mind sees a conflict between actualization and reality in areas ranging from politics, to religion, to evolution.

Most of the time this is just an entertaining exercise for a daydreamer, but often it leads to ideas in design, marketing, and business.

This blog is for those ideas.
