About

My name is Kevin Elliott, and I'm full of ideas. Sometimes I'm overflowing with ideas. I'm sitting on ideas that I need to think about, that I want to share, and that I'll never have time to do anything with. I'll share these ideas here since I've got my hands full with projects I actually want to sink my time into. Feel free to take them, they're now yours. Ever since I was young I have been a dreamer. I was always thinking of other places to be, how things work, and of people I might meet. Once I would figure out how something worked, I'd think of ways to improve it. This isn't something I force myself to do. It's a combination of my God-given natural curiosity and my desire to make the world a better place. With these dreams comes lots of ideas. Ideas are a dime-a-dozen. Really, they are. There are lots of wonderful ideas. And for every fantastic idea, there are 10,000 terrible ideas following it in its footsteps. Everyone thinks they have the best idea, and no one could possibly challenge their idea. And when someone criticizes their idea (for one reason or another, which I'll talk about in future posts), they defend it until pigs fly. Sometimes this is really justified, but often it's not. People are generally unwilling to admit that their idea is just another idea, floating on the sea of ideas. And that's OK.  They don't always have to be incredibly ingenious. Ideas often form a virtual space for collaboration and innovation. They're a platform for discussion; a starting point. Great ideas aren't necessary. In fact, Good ideas are often the best ideas to make happen. But to be quite frank, since ideas are so abundant it's what you do with an idea that's important, and sometimes what you don't. Knowing when an idea is simply an educational exercise and when it's something worth doing takes some skill (one that can be learned). Your ability to make it happen is more valuable than the idea itself. If you're sitting on the best ideas in the world, but you're too secretive to tell others about it to help you make it happen, then what good is that? And if you can't implement the idea by yourself, then you're wasting your opportunity. No number of incredible ideas can increase your value unless you're able to make them happen (or are willing to share them with someone who can). This is a place that I share my ideas with the world. Sometimes they're great, but most of the time, they're not. But since I can only devote myself to a finite number of ideas throughout my life, a lot of them will go untouched. My goal here is to inspire, encourage innovation, and spawn collaboration. At a bare minimum, I expect that this ignites some conversation, especially for the bad ideas (how can they be made better?). Will you take an idea, and then make it happen?
