I did my part
About 10 years ago I had an idea for a website where I would post my crazy ideas, inventions and philosophies to the site and let people take them for free -with one catch. They had to let me know their results. I didn’t want money I just wanted to know if it worked. Now I should say that while I have a science background, my interests can fade and switch so fast that some random exciting idea I had will be boring 5 seconds later…so I have studied lots of little things, but I never took a dive into the meaty material of many subjects. So many of my ideas could be easily proved as flops…but I don’t feel like researching :)
I then expanded the idea for the website to be an idea depot of sorts for people of all sorts to share ideas alike. Maybe there was a student looking for an idea for a science fair project or some company looking to dump money into R&D. I donno. Within one year I found an advertisement for a website where people bought, sold and traded their ideas royalty free. No need to start up a free exchange of ideas on a website when someone else found a way to market and sell it. That company is now long gone…
Well not too long ago…well okay last year I decided to post part of one of my crazy ideas to my blog. I was supposed to start posting more and more, but I never got around to it. Idea #1: Alternate power source: would lighting work?.
Interesting enough someone was searching the Internet Sunday for just such information and found my blog. A young girl from Canada had an assignment to look for someone with an opinion on lightning as an alternate power source…so in a small way I helped her with her homework.
That put a big smile on my face this morning. :)

You wanted them so you get them! First there was ice skating…
Then we did a little bit of drinking…
Then we had a rocking good time…

“I wrote
For a moment…or an hour
An evening
A night
I grew angry
I trembled or sat
Silent at my side
My eyes full of tears
I’d been writing all that time
Until I suddenly realized
I had no pen in my hand…”

I am too late
According to CNN Lisa Loeb is looking for a mate on TV. Apparently I should have asked her if she wanted to go for ice cream or go for gingerbread pancakes…bummer for me. Maybe I can still move to New York and see if I can get in on the dating ring -HA! Not so much. I’ll keep my eyes out for this show…
Adios!
I was there years ago and had my plans just get approved from work…I just bought my tickets. I’m headed on a 2 week vacation into Mayan land :) A little sun, a little swimming, some backpacking and lots of R&R.
Dec 24 – Jan 7th. I can’t wait!!
