Unfortunatly, I tend to have them often. Maybe its the bipolar... I heard of a great looking website that I wanted to share with some people here. Times are hard, and maybe someone can use this to get so money to pay for that great invention you've been stewing on for 10 years.

The website is www.kickstarter.com. My ideas tend to fly away fairly quickly, but maybe one of you artists,inventors,musicians, etc. can get it rolling.

Kickstarter is a site that you pitch your idea, and people pretty much, preorder a product, which will help you fund your product.

EXAMPLE
You would say I need $10,000 for "project A". If you donate $10 I will send you a shirt 'when I print them'. For $20 donation I will send a shirt and a mousepad 'when I print them'.

I just thought it was an interesting idea and thought I would pass it along. I know NOTHING about the site except for the general concept.

It doesn't do inventions, just finite/limited art project financing; it's not really for money making, if you make money, that's great but it's more to cover costs so one can "do" a project in the first place. For example, a guy on the front page has won a place in a show in another country but doesn't have the money to get there so is getting financing to get there. It is a neat idea.
