579. IdeaSpark*: Earbud Cord Management Thingy January 27, 2010

I decided to go for it and submit an idea to Quirky.com to see if the sucker can be voted into production. It’s a gadget to prevent my #3 pet peeve: tangled earphone cords. If you want to consider voting for it or other ideas at Quirky, feel free to visit the Quirky.com (it’s on page 2, under “Product 30”). Registration to vote is quick and easy, and voting for this round will end around Monday morning (Feb 1st). Thanks!

578. IdeaSpark: Non-disposable mug stirrer January 8, 2010

The idea, by Judi Sigler, is for a better way to stir your coffee or tea at the office.  She submitted it to be voted at Quirky.  If it wins, the invention will be produced.  I voted for her!  You can join Quirky.com to vote for her ideas, or many others.

But not only did I vote, I shared my idea variations via video.  It’s below:

577. Bright Idea: Quirky.com January 8, 2010

Thanks to the book Crush It!, I am seriously considering kicking SparkBugg back up again, with more of a focus on my own video clips of ideas and reviews.

Last night I worked on a video after being inspired by an idea at Quirky.com (a crowdsourcing invention house).  Check out the 30-second video about Quirky below.
