Amazing list of what people want me to write

At the book launch party  for Mindfire: Big Ideas for Curious Minds last month, Much fun took place.

I set up a big wall upstairs in the back where people could write topics they wanted me to see me write about.

Wow.

It took up three huge sheets of paper, and some folks drew pictures, diagrams and other creative ways to express their suggestions.

Here's the list. Some silly, some serious, some both:
