Sometimes I just get ideas that jump into my head – often in the shower or in that part of a plane flight where you cannot have electronic devices turned on – so I am reduced to thinking, pencil and paper.
I invent many things, never write them down and then get ticked because folks make a zillion dollars and I am still driving a 1996 Oldsmobile.
So I am going to start putting my ideas into my blog. Not to get rich – just to get credit when someone else does:)

Look at this picture. It is an enhanced iPod Shuffle with an additional audio out at the bottom – there is a variant of the little thing that clicks over the USB port but it has a retractible set of headphones.
Simple idea but pretty useful.
I wonder if it is possible to patent something just by writing it up in one’s blog.
