Ideas are dime a dozen

We'll mostly focus on gadgets I'd like to use if someone were to build them, or gadgets I'd like to build if someone else were to pay for them. Novelty is always a bonus, but I hope readers will help in pointing out existing solutions. Most importantly I'd love to get feedback on what you'd use or if you know someone who would. 

This blog will be dedicated mostly to the ideas that "I don't have time for" but I need to pull out of my head

to make room for more.  Most of these would likely be patentable: useful, novel, and non-obvious, even if half-baked. Yet, if you do want to build and sell something based on ideas from this website, you will be best off contacting me early so we can file jointly for a US patent.

Legal disclaimer: you are getting every penny worth of legal advice you are paying for. 

It looks like the prudent approach would be for me to describe not only the idea and application, but also a few implementation directions. If you do have better solutions how to build these, read the disclaimer below and drop me a line in private. Be careful when you post implementation idea details as they will have the same patent  barring effect, but at least rest assured I won't claim them as my own. I will preface the unlikely case of patented postings with a warning.

• If sufficient details how to build the gadget are disclosed, these posting will likely bar an international patent being filed by anyone, including me.  Nobody can use the 'first to the patent office' international patent rule as this is still prior art.
• If you try to get an US patent, this blog can be invoked as prior art to bar you, or you'd get an invalid patent that will easily be brought down in court.  You can count on Google's archives to provide an undeniable priority date
• If I have skipped salient details on how to build this in my postings, you might be able to defend your patent as not being invalid.
• If I have filed for an US provisional patent, you can contact me to become an assignee
• If I have filed for an actual patent, you can contact me to license it
• If I have filed for an actual patent, you might have a chance to patent only if you have an alternative solution to my actual patent.
• If I haven't filed the patent in a year, you may be able to practice this invention, but so would copy-cats

That being said, I do hope we don't kill any actually good ideas by talking about them prematurely.
Destroying the incentives for someone to go and actually bring these to market, may make this blog a burial ground for impractical businesses based on improbable technologies.  I do hope that someone excited about making better products and having the advantage of first to market will simply use these as a starting point.

For sure, I hope at least we'll exercise some brain cells and have some fun.
