Visit The Gallery of Obscure Patents and you’ll wonder how we ever managed without these inventions.
Visit this site often to get a “Whack on the Side of the Head” worth noting.
Charles “Boss” Kettering held 30 honorary doctorate degrees 40 patents. His most well known inventions include the electronic cash register for NCR and the electronic starter for GM. You can thank him every time you start your car with the twist of a wrist rather that a crank of the arm. Since the Foundation he formed with his fortune is my biggest client, I thank him a lot! Check out what Charles Kettering had to say about creativity. In fact, spend some time tripping around the Be More Creative site. The creator strikes me as someone fun to know.
