I had a giant laundry list. Most of it got build. My one trick was to not build anything but dream up the next thing in stead. It is hilarious to compare notes to see if they got the details right. It usually gives me a feeling as if the collective mind used my idle brain cycles to run other peoples thoughts by. The entire thing may arrive with an unreasonable amount of detail and float away a few hours later only to return in completed form a few years later.

Also funny is to have an idea just complete enough to be able to find the patents.
