Too many big ideas stay small.

The BIB (Big Idea Brewery) is ideas big & small in science, technology, and the arts, conceived by living things.

Hi, I'm Nick Panama and I co-run Cantora based in New York City. First just a record label, evolving as a music company + music technology brewery focused on enriching the music experience through big ideas and glimpses of the future. I have two partners in crime, Jesse and Will, they blog too.

MetroChange kiosks are an invention from NYU ITP students looking to fix a real problem: what do customer do with the small amount of unused value on their metro card? They swipe their card at the MetroChange kiosk. The value from their MetroCard is recorded by the kiosk and transmitted to a central fund that is then donated to a charity. Value that would otherwise have been lost is now quantified and can be put to good use. The customer’s physical MetroCard is taken for recycling.
