An invention a day for the past 4 years
- BoppreH 16y agoThat is really impressive. Has anything been actually made yet? And I really miss a rate system and/or a Best Inventions section. The "Feasible inventions" is not a complete replacement because it's ordered by time, not rate.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agosilly Ideas are a dime a dozen
- JustinSeriously 16y agoFour years of sustained imaginative effort isn't.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoHm. Its an accomplishment I guess. Like a huge ball of string.
- lkozma 16y agoHe gives all these ideas away for free, seems to have fun writing them, while making a point about IP in general ( http://iotd.patrickandrews.com/about/ http://iotd.patrickandrews.com/about/ ). Why belittle the effort?
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoDoesn't belong here. How about pictures of my wife's cats?
- noonespecial 16y agoTake a picture of your wifes cat every day for 4 years and then get back to us.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoExactly. Its a stunt, but not otherwise interesting.
- duhprey 16y agoAlso, at the very least going rate ($.10/12) his website is worth $146. That's more valuation than most startups (i.e., the countless failures) :)
- wallflower 16y agoThis is like a more realistic Halfbakery. http://halfbakery.com http://halfbakery.com
- lkozma 16y agoI've been following the ideas of this guy also: http://stealchoofsideas.blogspot.com/ http://stealchoofsideas.blogspot.com/ Would be worth a post of its own, some are really technical.
- zeynel1 16y agoit seems that he actually types his posts on a typewriter and scans
- wallflower 16y agoTypewriting has a visceral pleasure to it (correction tape and all) that no MacBook will ever come close to. I think this appeal to the visceral is why sometimes I will just pick up my notepad or find a napkin to brainstorm and avoid the iDevices.
- Jakob 16y agoCool site. I like this one http://www.antiyawn.com/stealmyidea/socialnewstime.jpg http://www.antiyawn.com/stealmyidea/socialnewstime.jpg against the eternal september.
- starkfist 16y agoDidn't pg do this and found it made no difference in the quality of the posts?
- aw3c2 16y agoIt scares me to think (parts of) how many will probably be patented even though this guy thought of them by himself.
- asmithmd1 16y agoThat is part of his strategy, by publishing the ideas in his blog the ideas are now in the public domain and therefore not patentable. IBM used to publish a quarterly magazine with details of inventions they didn't think worthy of patenting so that others then could not patent them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Technical_Disclosure_Bulletin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Technical_Disclosure_Bullet...
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoTDBs were one of our (many) standard resources for finding prior art when I worked in IP.
- noonespecial 16y agoHe's the walking one man reason a lot of people would like to change patent law to be "first to file".
- Aaronontheweb 16y agoThe re-roll idea is brilliant.
- joejohnson 16y agoIs anyone else recieving a "bandwidth limit exceeded" message when they try to view the link? http://iotd.patrickandrews.com/ http://iotd.patrickandrews.com/

- Fredinashed 16y agoApologies....situation fixed now at http://iotd.patrickandrews.com http://iotd.patrickandrews.com Thanks for all the comments, by the way.
