Yes, ubiquitous data capture is a great way to train the brain to provide you with stuff. Write down everything it gives you, even the duds, and you will be rewarded eventually. Firespotting is simply a more social way of doing the same thi

How about creating an account on Firespotting and posting your best ones? For me it's cathartic, it spurs more creativity, and I get a very valuable reality-check on my ideas. Also, I've met several people there already. Who knows, one of t
