Thanks for the link on the washing machine patents, I'm going to add that to the post. And I was actually going to mention the Dyson, until I saw that they had been discontinued du…

I didn't click on your link, but that looks like a good alternative to using a standard washing machine.

I know you're being facetious, but I'd argue that's exactly the type of problem that we should look at solving. And admittedly there was a ton of hand waving around my potential so…

Nice, I've been doing the same for the past few years on my blog ( http://astartupaday.com ) as well. Definitely a good way to get some creative ideas flowing and to get the bad on…

Already did, looking forward to checking it out soon.

Awesome, checking it out right now. The primary reason for putting this together is to scratch my own itch, so this sounds very interesting to me.

Yep, it's a Ning thing. I'll see if I can cut out some of the signup options, thanks for the feedback. EDIT: Just removed b-day, gender, and location. Thanks again, sorry for the p…
