I've been doing lots of playing with arduino lately while working on my project - just my luck that all the good ideas have already been taken.

I'm so sick of coming up with awesome ideas - that will make me rich, way beyond my wildest dreams - only to find someone else who lives down the road has been doing the same thing for ages.

The thing is none of them are rich - they just look at the ground and kick rocks, kind of like me.

Adolf - it seems the quickest way to make some coin is by app design - so why not design a yonnie-piffing app, which relies on you holding the phone like the stone (ie; around edges) and as you do the motion, it relays your technique to the screen (with multiple scenes - pond, river, ocean etc.) and replays from a couple of different angles including a moving camera - I'd download that one for free...might even pay a couple of bucks for it!


...might want to start selling wristband attachments also re; initial issues with wii handsets & big-screen tvs!

[edit] sorry to burst your bubble - already an app out there 'stone skipping'!

Don't be silly, I used your idea of the flying fish and won the contact to import them to Target. Awesome idea,
I'm making $2.75 a sale. We are selling 35,000 units this month with an option to ramp up for the next 3months to 55,000 units. It's all about a great idea (and who you know)

Those things are so 2011

My bank account doesnt care ;)

I paid for xmas out of the sale of air swimmers - and was only selling them in larger volumes for a couple of months. I actually sold my last one last week. I've been looking around for other Chinese knockoffs for this xmas.

What do you think of these?

All the same - well done with the air swimmers. I'm glad I helped you out.

What are you thinking adolf? All you need o do to make cash is hire a foreign trained IT slave? lets say from India Philippines etc Just get him her to code Bullsh1t games like angry bird for an iphone. People who are dumb enough to purchase a new made in china 4$ iphone for a 4600% percent markup are for sure going to buy a ****ty game for 2 bucks.
Instant millionaire.
Cheap Tv's?

Watching that vid make me love my accounting job
