I’m done reading it and I don’t have room on my bookshelf. It’s definitely worth a read, especially if you are in a management situation and you want to expand you tool chest to include some more motivational and thinking-out-of-the-box methods.

I’ll give it to the first person to claim it by the end of October, 2007. Just post a comment to claim it, and agree to pay the shipping cost. If not claimed, it goes to my Ebay queue.

So, it’s been just over a week since I launched Random Egg. I hatched it as a way to share my various ideas from silly inventions to large scale social and environmental solutions. I set up the site to allow users to submit their own ideas, and encourage anyone with even a spark of an idea to post it on the main area of the site.

So far I’ve had a couple hundred visitors and a couple of new users, and two of them have posted ideas. OK, so one of them was my wife, but still, one ligitimate new user who posted an idea! Thank you James Dunn.

The main area of the site was launched using Pligg, an open-source clone of the popular Digg.com. This platform is perfect for posting ideas and encouraging feedback in the form of votes and comments.

However, not long after it was up and running did I crave another outlet for this project. As the flood of stimuli from starting the site continued to move over me, I started exploring the web for other idea sites, and I looked for books on the subject. I found plenty of the former and am well into a great book by Chic Thompson.

This blog will serve as an additional outlet, and I’ll be posting about the pursuit and methodology of ideas and creativity. Here I will post links to sites about ideas and creativity. I’ll write about interesting finds and I might even attempt a book review or two!

I will of course continue to post my ideas to the front page of RandomEgg.com as they come to me. I hope you join me in growing this site.
