Ideas, given form.

A builder's notebook, out loud. I collect the ideas worth thinking about - mine and other people's - and turn each one into something you can actually see.

raybolouriIdeas.com is Ray Bolouri's curated idea publication. It collects ideas worth thinking about - his own and compelling ideas from other builders on LinkedIn and X - reshares each in its original form with full credit, and turns every idea into a distinctive illustration.

I don't just share ideas. I cast them.

🔍

Find

I only post ideas I actually think about. Some are mine. Many belong to builders I follow on LinkedIn and X.

✍️

Credit

When an idea is someone else's, I keep it in their words, put their name on it, and link straight to the source.

Cast

Then every idea runs through the system I built and comes out with its own illustration. Watch it happen - each one starts as raw text and takes form.

Who's doing the collecting?

I've spent forty years asking "how" - from writing a word processor in assembly at eleven, to running an ISP off the 99th floor of the Sears Tower, to shipping the first bidirectional business texting a year before the iPhone, to building voice and agentic AI today. This is where I keep the questions worth asking.
