print on demand - crowd sourcing
Print on demand is a way that very small print run publishing is able to service very small niche markets. However, there is a premium to printing a single book. So depressing the size of this niche market. If print on demand distribution was combined with the crowd sourcing concept of joy de vivre there could be synergies. For example, It may cost £15 to order a single copy of a novel from a POD publisher but say £13 ...more »

However, there is a premium to printing a single book. So depressing the size of this niche market. If print on demand distribution was combined with the crowd sourcing concept of joy de vivre there could be synergies.
For example, It may cost £15 to order a single copy of a novel from a POD publisher but say £13 if you ordered 10.
I suggest that pod distributors should have a range of purchase options for these books, i.e. a) an instant purchase price, b) a wait for 3 months till an order for 10 is filled price, c) a wait for 3 months for an order of 100 is filled price and d) a wait for 3 months for an order of 1000 is filled price - at which point it should make sense to change to conventional offset printing bringing a large drop in price.
The distribution site could then allow customers to search for books that already have more advance orders, this should accelerate the sales of the more marketable offerings.
It might also be feasible to create book anthologies. As longer books seem to be better value for money, it might be possible to have an anthology of 3 books in one. The site could look for clients who have ordered more than one book in common. Using this information they might be able to create anthologies that have say, 2 books at least 1000 people would buy, but as there are more customers and the economies of a larger book, again the price point should drop to less than buying both books seperately and in smaller groups.

Stackables

A stackable toy for kids.
Each modules is a smooth 3D cross. The crosses can be connected to each other by inserting a protruding end of one cross into the recessed end of another cross.
The modules are stacked into any desired configuration; for example a play castle or fort.

Sticky Ball
This is a redesign of a suction cup ball. Standard suction cup balls work pretty well at sticking to flat surfaces but they're a bit goofy. They have these discrete suction cups mounted on arms that radiate from a central point so it doesn't feel like like a ball. Anyway, I've designed a more ball-like version. The new ball comprises a spherical rubber shell (red) with dimples on the exterior and corresponding protrusions ...more »

Standard suction cup balls work pretty well at sticking to flat surfaces but they're a bit goofy. They have these discrete suction cups mounted on arms that radiate from a central point so it doesn't feel like like a ball.
Anyway, I've designed a more ball-like version.
The new ball comprises a spherical rubber shell (red) with dimples on the exterior and corresponding protrusions on the inside (note: the real ball could have many more dimples than illustrated). The ball also has an interior ball (green). (see illustration)
When the ball is thrown against a surface the interior ball pushes the protrusions. Thus gas is pushed out of the dimples and the dimples form suction cups against the surface.

Cellule - Modular Lattice for Urban Gardeners
Borne out of the limitations of traditional wood slat lattice too large for downtown condominiums and apartments, Cellule is snapped together to allow climbing plants to grow in any complex urban space. It can quickly cover wall surfaces but is small enough to fit most environments and obstacles. Each module has mounting features for cable ties to attach to railings and a generous hole for screwing into wood, drywall, ...more »

Borne out of the limitations of traditional wood slat lattice too large for downtown condominiums and apartments, Cellule is snapped together to allow climbing plants to grow in any complex urban space. It can quickly cover wall surfaces but is small enough to fit most environments and obstacles. Each module has mounting features for cable ties to attach to railings and a generous hole for screwing into wood, drywall, siding, brick, or concrete. The included cap neatly hides all mounting hardware from sight. The depth and generous openings allow climbing plants to easily weave through the lattice.
Cellule works really well in northern climates as it beautifies walls when plant life has died off in the winter months. Even when not used for plants, Cellule’s sculpted, undulating surfaces make any wall look more interesting.
Made from UV stabilized polypropylene, Cellule can be used indoors or outdoors and is fully recyclable. The inter-connectability allow you to easily expand your wall as your plants grow. Conversely, you can also easily disassemble your lattice wall and reconfigure it for new plants or design motifs.
