Two function hand held pruner

 by Jim10 ¦  Sun Sep 07, 2003 3:19 pm ¦  Forum: Creativity Pool ¦  Topic: Two function hand held pruner ¦  Replies: 2 ¦  Views: 4652

This device would not only cut with precision but clamp down on the part of the stem or small branch to be discarded...and when the handle is released, the clamp would release the branch...falling into any trash barrel or bin. The clamping mechanism would operate adjacent to and parallel with the cu...

Mtd...good thoughts...simpler is often times better! Here in Arizona, US, the bugs are mighty sticky and routine wiping-spraying with regular cleenaups at the pump doesn't get it. An alternate solution would be a different liquid spray containing an enzyme or stronger soap. When you activate it...it...

Earth islands in Dubai

A ps to the Palm Island community now being developed in Dubai: A larger project is on the boards down the coast from the Palms...it will be a grouping of larger man-made islands each resembling in shape one of the land masses of Earth. From space, the grouping approximates a layed out world map. Li...

ps to Monitor art

 by Jim10 ¦  Sun Aug 31, 2003 2:02 pm ¦  Forum: Creativity Pool ¦  Topic: Monitor Art ¦  Replies: 3 ¦  Views: 3743

I can envision a monitor in the window of an art shop connected to a virtual library of paintings...via slide show software: paintings for sale that would be displayed for 10-15 sec, say...than fade into the next one. This is a very classy, enticing way of displaying art...and has applications for m...

Yes...why not Mistermacc. I can see an application here for an art shop that sells prints or originals...This device would save wall space. The sought art could be retrieved and displayed with the push of a button or a pin. No more wandering about to maybe find what you want...or thumbing through on...

Yes, Flattop, it would look something like that only "insta-chair" would unfold and set up instantly.

For a friend, I once made rice paper windows for a home. She wanted more privacy but sill light coming in...and didn't like blinds or curtains. The windows I made were really screens made from rice paper glued onto thin wooden borders...kind of Japaneesy. These framed screens inserted from the insid...

This palm island is really incredible...just the concept of this huge shape, visable form earth...as a logo, a symbol is cool enough...let alone an actual island community. The web site is beautiful as well...done by real pros. I'm sure these prperties are quite pricey...comparable to staying at tha...

This ties in more with Steve's original post: (and Steve, feel free to add to another pool if need be) What if people were hired on a project or piece basis based upon specific talents and abilities. Now, I know this happens all the time: eg...when you refurbish a house, you hire a tile man for the ...

employment and brainstorming

Steve and others: Thought I would do a little brainstorming (although I dislike that term...maybe "contemplating" instead) about this whole topic of employment and how either creative or inventive people can make a living. Understanding that creatives and inventors tend to be mavericks, ma...

a non-watch

 by Jim10 ¦  Mon Aug 25, 2003 2:44 pm ¦  Forum: Mad Scientist Boiler ¦  Topic: World without time ¦  Replies: 33 ¦  Views: 15651

In such a timeless world...a "non-watch" would fit in nicely: a watch without hands, just the word: "NOW" printed on the face. If someone asked you the time...you would look at your non-watch and reply with confidence: "NOW".

Yes, Cheryl, the sights and sounds of nature are awe inspiring. And there are already wonder nature tapes available...rain forests, ocean waves crashing, streams gurgling, etc. A fairly simple way of bringing nature indoors is to place a mic ouside ones house and pipe the sounds indoors. I know ther...

Steve...you and possibly others have done a great job in creating and maintaining this site...congratulations! I like the way the site is divided into different topic pools...enough for swimmers with various abilities and interests. Can't think right now of a way it could be better. Thanks again! Jim.

I know what you're thinking: wife, husband or servant...or myself (God forbid!). Seriously though, this would be a great invention...yet when I think about possible solutions nothing comes to mind. Help!

This virtual pin thing has got me wondering if there isn't a phsyical (non-computer) solution....so that one can instantly create more wall space or have the ability to display more items than wall space permits. I'm sure there are solutions to this already...but how about new solutions. I may post ...
