list of list ideas
By 
Introduction
it's overwhelming when you think about what you can make lists about. anything and everything, right? these are a few i think might be the most interesting and/or useful to you and other OML users.
suggestions welcome!
1
favorite restaurants in your city
you live there. you know what you're talking about. this will help refresh your memory when you know you want a meal you're sure to like. it's also helpful for OML users going to your city.
2
life goals
it's good to see it all laid out. and it's even better to check them off.
3
any commentary
reasons why i..., things to do when..., what i think about..., things i hate about..., things i love about...
let's hear it!
let's hear it!
4
gear lists
things you need for a camping trip, things you need for a photo shoot, things you need when you travel abroad...
5
concerts you've been to
lists can be a great archive for you to look back on and share with others. keep going to concerts, list keeps growing.
6
gift ideas
christmas gifts, birthday gifts, father's day, mother's day, anniversaries. you might want to set this list to private. no peeking!
7
things you've owned
another archive opportunity. cars, pets, real estate, shoes, computers, etc.
8
places you want to travel
keep your sights set. you'll get there someday.
9
places you have travelled
all of the countries, cities, states you've been to.
10
favorite restaurants in other cities
you travel to NYC a lot? tell us your favorite spots. you've been to paris? where did you enjoy eating?
11
favorite things to do in any city
could be your city, could be a city you hit on a vacation. what are the hot spots? what do you enjoy the most?
12
public restrooms
this was the best list idea i've heard to date. mark svenson has a list of good public restrooms to use when you're in the lower east side in manhattan. can't wait for this one.
13
celebrities
love 'em or hate 'em. they're fun to write (and read) about. who you admire, who gets on your last nerve, best dressed, most divorced, best hair extensions...you get the idea.
14
music you want to purchase
songs you want to download or CD's you want to check out. great list to start.
15
movies you want to see
i forget this all the time. especially when i'm on netflix or in a video store. OML solves this problem
16
favorite (or least-favorite) movies of all time
be a movie critic. tell us what we must see, and what we must avoid like the plague.
17
books to read
i always get suggestions, and i always forget. forget no more.
18
event list
i just realized i just missed our neighborhood street fair because i didn't know it was today. list street fairs, concerts, speakers, conventions, ballgames.
19
great websites
what sites are helpful, amusing or intriguing? which ones eat away most of your time at work?
20
hobbies
you in to wine, gnomes, cycling, knitting and freshwater aquariums? give us lists of your favorite publications, sites or aficionados for your hobby.
21
pet-friendly places
lots of people (me) are looking for parks, trails, restaurants, beaches, hotels that are pet-friendly. bosco and talulah thank you in advance.
22
wish list
clothes, technology, dishes, cars, sports gear...whatever. what a great reference for people who want to buy you a gift. and then you'll get something you actually like!
23
sports / sports teams
teams, sports, players you love or hate. go sox!
24
old-fashion to do
what do you have to accomplish this weekend? this week? today? how about before a big event - a wedding, party, trip? you get the idea.
25
recipes
if you like to cook, a list of your favorite recipes would be fabulous if you're at work and wondering what you're going to make for dinner, or if you want to share with other foodies (me!).
26
grocery list
track what you're running out of. print it out and go to the store. easy as pie.
27
books you recommend
archive everything you've read, and then let the rest of us know if it's worth our time.
28
favorite people
favorite designers, artists, musicians, authors, politicians, etc. could go the other way too. who do you dislike?
29
randomness
my favorite lists are the most random. see chloe's "things i like on bagels", cior's "favorite crimes" or shauna's "inappropriate things that have happened to me while riding the muni". most brilliant and creative.
Pie is not easy. (reference #26)
Great list list.
Where are your parents??
Side note to Noah (Mr. Kelly in our house) - Fabulous idea.
