In my morning dream I was designing a programming language with a small set of operators but was as powerful as Python. But I can't recall any details.
And shortly after waking up, I got an idea for a relatively "green" printer. Soak a piece of paper in a salt that changes color on exposure to high heat. The printer then uses stepper motors to pass a point source of heat over the paper. It should be easy to design a 12V, low-wattage printer around that concept.
