Have you ever had been frustrated because you have a great idea but so-called "time commitments" or "lack of qualifications" prevent you from executing it?

Look no further than the internet. It has literally been staring you right in the face this entire time! (Unless you're like me and you get your RSS feed dictated to you by robot servant while you close your eyes in bed each morning).

The internet is an undrank milkshake worth of people who have a lot of time on their hands. You don't have to look very far to be convinced of that [link to Digg comment flame-war here]. For that reason alone I implore all idea hoarders to go out on a limb and release their conceptual burdens in blog form for the joy of others.

• Best case: someone does a great job with your idea and gives you credit.
• Worst case: someone gets rich off your idea and doesn't give you credit. Good thing it's time-stamped on your blog! You may not get any credit, but you get to be bitter that they stole your idea and you get to learn the lesson that money isn't everything in life, money can't buy happiness, happiness is a warm gun, or something along those lines.

So make the internet a better place and blog your ideas! If you need some encouragement check out the great work being done at the Free Idea Factory. But what's with all this art stuff? What can art retarded scientists do?

Don't look at me. I have no time to make a "Free Science Idea Factory" (time-stamped on July 31st, 2008), but here's a nice idea I had recently.

In the same vein as the Molecule of the Day blog, an Equation of the Week blog written by a savvy mathematician would be fantastic! I've noticed that Built on Facts has a Sunday Function, but I was thinking something a little more elaborate...

Every week an equation could be chosen and profiled with any of the following:

• Using it in a worked through example
• Linking to current popular science articles which rely on it
• Discussing what makes it unique
• Explaining its applications in different fields
• Discussing social significance (Perhaps an equation that made the moon landing possible)
• Mentioning it's history, first time it was published, or story of discovery
• Fancy graphical depictions and plots
• Discussing it's limitations (Where it's relevant and where it's not)
