Thanks, I'll check it out (that was bad).

Well just keep pluggin away at the ideas. What I'd do is keep a
notebook and record the parameters of the idea along with a date of any
changes to the idea. Then some day you might be able to use that idear
or a portion of it for a project at some future point when feasibility
comes into play. Even if it's not something you can ever imagine
funding on your own, it might be something you can collaborate with some
one with resources you don't have.
As an example, I came up with an idea back in 1992 for a unique type of
company structure designed to create an environment of innovation,
cooperation as well as a core group of super productive people.
However, the 4 companies I owned at the time need a more traditional
structure, so I shelved the idea for later. Since that time, a portions
or alternate versions of the ideas I came up with have been implemented
by other companies and touted as "innovative", which made me realize
that maybe the time was right to dig out my notes and that the new set
of companies I now own offered the opportunity I needed to implement a
test of my ideas. As a result of reading up and looking at what other
folks had done with portions of my concept, I implemented the concept
with some minor modifications about 6 months ago on a limited basis as a
test. So far it's working but the real test will come as I grow the
businesses.
You have a some good sources to work with so far, so I don't doubt you
will you find a way at some point to make one of them work :)
