3 Ideas a Day?

This is an experiment in non-stop ideation.

After working in advertising for 17 years and having countless ideas killed just after conception, I wanted a place my ideas could live. Not that they're all good ideas. But, having sprung from my head, they deserve a day in the sun and a romp in the roses. Thus, "Three Ideas a Day."

Can you come up with three new ideas a day? You should try it. It's not easy. But if you're an insomniac or obsessive compulsive, it should feel like second nature. What's an idea? A concept. I once read that the difference between people and computers is that people have concepts. Three concepts. Three ideas. Whichever comes comes first.

One caveat. If I'm being paid that day to come up with ideas, I won't be able to share them here and may have to rehash an idea from one of my journals (be prepared for some occasional sophomoric thinking).

I'm not extremely attached to my ideas. If any of my ideas falls flat (or is stolen), that's OK. I'll come up with three more tomorrow.
