Entrepreneur's Business Park Printer Friendly Version
Every area has talented people. Skills all going to waste. Dying of loneliness. And lack of opportunity. In my experience, the only people who really benefit from the agencies set-up to help entrepreneurs, are the employees who mostly do very little to actually help alleviate their struggles.
So why not introduce a true enterprise zone to help bring enterprising people together. Government funded, industrial type building - you're allowed all kinds of styles in business parks! It could be a sort of theme park for adults, with places to crash out, bars that serve good food/drinks, IT stations, art studio facilities, noticeboards, keep fit equipment including fun stuff like swings, a gym for people to play ball games etc., and most importantly, a large conference suite so that council members or big business can consult the brainy bods!
Surround the place with loads of trees, flowers. Create enough parking (could be underground). Maybe charge members an annual fee, reimburseable if they make a good contribution to help run the place efficiently/cost effectively.
For ambience, try using weatherboarding on the floor - nail down and sand the panels, apply paint/varnish! Cheap, effective, hard-wearing. Don't make ceilings too high or problems keeping place warm. Could show educational films relating to art/craft/design. Hold seminars about whatever people are interested in, e.g. tackling poverty... Could run a store re-using waste paper etc. There's so much potential, the mind boggles!
Reward: Just make it happen! Invite me along to my local think tank. That would more than suffice.

Color Changing House Paint or Vinyl Siding Printer Friendly Version
the idea is this: in the summer you want your house to repel heat, in the winter you want your house to absorb heat. if you were to make a paint or vinyl siding that became darker when it got cold and lighter when it got warm, it would accomplish the goal.
Reward: just let me know it worked :-)

Paint can touch-up containers Printer Friendly Version
Gallon cans of paint are partially used and then recapped - without long term success. When you want to touch up a previously painted room, the paint has dried and cannot be remixed. My idea would include a small (say one ounce) container of the original paint that would be purchased with each gallon. A small container would be good for touchups and would have a long shelf life if easy to properly seal.
