Why I do it -now

Ok, so I made it to 365 consecutive daily postings.

Some were, of course, utter trash and others may actually have approached usefulness.

I have enjoyed the process (almost) every day…so much so that I’ll be continuing to generate and publish ideas here (albeit at lower frequency)…at least until some megacorp buys up my brain and locks in a vault to protect their moribund product line from any kind of creativity.

For those of you who have expressed displeasure at the fact that I’m not now posting a new, free idea every single day (although I am managing this on average), may I direct your attention to the ‘make a contribution’ button on the right and secondly to this item which suggests 50cents is the going rate for even the most workaday idea! Cheers.

    I’ve decided to set up an inventor / entrepreneur lunch club at work. Hope you don’t mind if I point people to your site for inspiration?

    PS. Another book you would like – Dan Pink, Whole New Mind.

    More soon,
    Mark

    Delighted. Anybody who needs an inventor-in-residence, or access to all the Unpublished ideas can make contact via pra@patrickandrews.com

    Still struggling to come up with something for today though…

    is there a route to offer a proposed invention or do you wish to avoid getting swamped by silly ideas….?

    I’d be delighted if you wanted to publish any ideas here (ie in the Comments). I really don’t want the hassle of having to moderate potential flame wars between inventors taking umbrage with me/each other!

    I’m working to raise funds for the creation of an InventorCentre, which should allow inventors some proper recognition/support and access to fees…watch this space.

    Clearly, publication of anything here counts as placing your idea(s) in the public domain and makes attempts at patent application futile (or even more futile than usual).

    I just found this: http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2009/07/imaginary-gadgets-0005-the-fantastic-machines-of-leonardo/
    How cool was Leonardo with his 18,000+ pages of inventions -more like Invention of the Minute.
