Hi all:

We are really excited to have this blogger join our team. Sholto Crow loves to make up all sorts of nonsense then post it on InventorSpot.com. He is a freelance writer, designer and motion graphics artist from London and is currently a vagrant, having quit his job as creative director of a motion graphics company at the beginning of 2008 in order to wander about the earth and see what happens. He is also a musician with a few records under his belt, which is quite uncomfortable but looks good. He currently lives somewhere between Vancouver, Sweden and Norfolk.

You can read his blog of crazy invention ideas here .

The Brutal Truth About the Invention Process

Michelle — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 16:46:08 -0800

Have an invention idea? Need help and advice about your invention?

Ed Zimmer has written what I think is one of the best articles on the web for inventors, "New Product Licensing" on his helpful website The Entrepreneurs Network.

I thought is was one of the best distillations of the challenges of the invention process and it offers priceless advice for inventors. Here's Part I of his article:
