The US tend to have thought of most stuff already, but I might well revisit my researches in that area.<br /><br />Ok Notabene. Send me a brown envelope full of cash and we'll talk.<br /><br />Sagittarian a PA? You are too kind! No really. There is currently no salary attached and I don't even know your typing speed ;-)<br /><br />Rol, you're an artist through and through.<br /><br />Urko - that's a great idea re the self-charging electronic cases! Do you know anyone who might introduce you to a venture capitalst (if they still exist)? I have been sending some of my ideas to revolutionise University education to the various key figures in education this week, along with the carrot of plenty more where they came from if I can come and eat their biscuits. If all else fails, there is always the wheelie bin with the cat flap up my sleeve after all!<br />;- )The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-82952928408474423602010-09-29T23:19:08.939+02:002010-09-29T23:19:08.939+02:00By the way - speaking as a bloke who has to tolera...By the way - speaking as a bloke who has to tolerate getting regular reprimands for being innatentive, easily distracted, lazy and immature at work (I've had to apologise several times in the last two weeks) I feel I've never been cut out for traditional work either.John Eckersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874387296463362537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-90693768253226917512010-09-29T23:16:07.383+02:002010-09-29T23:16:07.383+02:00Here's one of my recent ideas - you know those...Here's one of my recent ideas - you know those wheely cases that seem really popular and almost certainly contain laptops and iPhones? How about building a phone/laptop charger into them, powered by the furiously turning wheels as they are dragged about by pseudo important middle managers? The biggest problem is that it's costly to patent inventions, and as James Dyson found to his cost, big companies may feel they can simply steal your ideas and put you out of business before you can do anythng about it, patent or not. As for "ideas" you're on shakier ground assserting your intellectual property rights there unfortunately I reckon.John Eckersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874387296463362537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-6153000746312289432010-09-28T14:08:16.647+02:002010-09-28T14:08:16.647+02:00Sadly, all my dreams are thwarted.
