Idea Generator: an Easy Way to Automate Your Thinking

ideagen.jpgIf you’re like us Monday morning often feels like you’re bobbing about in the doldrums, thick headed and less than creative. And how are you going to come up with the next big thing in that sort of a state?

Simple. Outsource your thinking to the handy Idea Generator, which is how I came up with this week’s project: building a transparent rubber car. It was between that and a prefab concrete event, but I floated concrete decks one summer in college, I’m not falling for that one again.

Then there was the multilingual holographic sound system, but there’s already a Tron re-make in the works and I was worried about possible patent lawsuits. Transparent rubber car it is.

According to the source of the page I’m seriously behind the times — the Idea Generator has apparently been around since 2005 and is the brainchild of brothers David and Joshua Keay who run Magnetism Studios — but I attribute that largely to the fact that I’d never had the idea to look for the Idea Generator.
