We love crazy ideas, the crazier the better. It’s the only way we really stretch ourselves as designers, programmers or professionals. Start with an idea that’s nearly impossible to achieve and go to work making it look simple. That’s what everyone told us when we set out to release 8 apps in a matter of months, and we ended up doing 9!

So when we saw ThousandApps.com, we grinned from ear to ear. What a great… and crazy… idea. We like these guys.

Make a web site that has 1,000 teeny-weeny app icons. A virtual App Store orgy! Sure, why not? We just had to be part of it.

Our hats are off to Danilo Yasuno, idea guy and owner of DYS: Translations, and Mika Letki, the creator of the site. Their idea was inspired by The Million Dollar Home Page, which is an amazing story in itself. Are we seeing a new chapter in internet trivia history with ThousandApps.com?

We think when the site is full, it’s going to look beautiful. Apps can be added by contacting them here.

In 1997, Apple aired the Emmy Award Winning “Here’s to the Crazy Ones” created by Chiat/Day and narrated by Richard Dreyfuss. More than an ad campaign, it was art.

So, here’s the crazy ones! We salute you Danilo and Mika.
