Please, no heckling from the audience!!!
 
Ken Pedersen, patent attorney at Pedersen and Company, PLLC, is instructing a community education course this Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m.  It is being offered through the Boise School District Community Education and the title of the course is "Product/Service Development: What to Do with a New Idea"...cost is $20.00 for the two hour course and there are still some openings according to the online enrollment at https://www.boiselearns.org/CourseStatus.awp?~~10F-BUS-004 

I have been asked to speak at the class for a short while.  I hope to inspire and invigorate those who attend...inventing is challenging, but it also needs to be fun and exciting!!

Ken is an excellent patent attorney who has been quietly running an honest and well-respected legal practice here in Boise, along with his wife and patent agent, Barbara.  All the while, he's been getting his client's utilty patents approved, helping them obtain trademarks and copyright their work, as well as helping with business contracts and licensing agreements...I'm sure he'll say and that's just to name a few...

I hear there is a pretty good turnout so far, so you don't want to miss out!  Especially if you have that idea you have for a product or service that you think could be a real moneymaker...and you want to be the one making the $$$$$$ and not someone else!!!

Got Rich Quick Schemes

Spot The Crazes - New Conan Premiers November 8th on TBS!!
  
The verb "get" is in the past tense, so rest a little easier...you usually only hear the saying with it in the present or future tenses.  Get ready for the television premiere of "Got Rich Quick: Forbes Outrageous Fortunes".  This show will feature in depth or not in depth reporting on recent product hits and crazes such as Silly Bandz, Skullcandy, Bumpits, Spin Gym (neither hit, nor craze) and Fitflops...

This is an E! Entertainment Television exclusive to be broadcast on the E! Channel next Thursday, October 28th, at 10:00 p.m Eastern...It may be glossy to the eyes and with substance that is over-produced, over-glorified, over-dramatized and over-reported.  But if you can handle all the "overs", then set your DVR's.. You won't be under-whelmed!


Disclaimer:  If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult your satellite, cable or over the air provider before watching this program.  You may experience pain, swelling. irritability, feeling of uneasiness or abdominal cramping.  Changing the channel may or may not improve your symptoms.

Pitchmen being Pitched?

Is Sully being devoured by a Goliath Tigerfish?

Mid-August of this year, a little over a year from Billy May's untimely passing, Discovery Channel aired the first two episodes of the 2nd season of Pitchmen, this year with the lone Pitchman, Anthony Sullivan, at the helm.

DVR's, which keep the times of our TV shows from being mentally forgotten, are set to record the new episodes as they appear in the listings.  Chriss Angel must be mind-freaking with my listings, because sometimes it will show a new episode of Pitchmen that it will soon record, only to disappear into the satellite abyss sometime before airing.  This has gone on since missing the 3rd episode originally slated for the first week in September.

Must be some real trouble in Denmark for the Pitchmen show.  Sometimes, a new show will miss a couple weeks while the broadcaster juggles the channel lineup at the start of a new fall season lineup or due to some unseen circumstances.. but usually not for a month and a half.

KingSully, the online voice of our twittering Pitchmen, tweeted this about a week ago on Twitter:


Season 2 will be back! Don't worry!!! Monday, September 27, 2010 4:07:34 PM via web


He also tweeted back in early September that the show was moving to another time slot and to check the Discovery Channel website for the new schedule.

Is Pitchmen being pitched by the Discovery Channel's new ratings darling "River Monsters", hosted by the aptly crusty catfishing host, Jeremy Wade?

Stay tuned to find out while this mini-drama at Discovery Channel unfolds...Regardless, most if not all of those episodes will air at some point, as they probably taped a majority of the 12 or so slated episodes..


Editor's Ramble:  Speaking of Twitter, but Bob Dylan must have been able to predict the future...His Traveling Wilbury's acoustically strummed classic, "Tweeter and the Monkey Man", was tweeting the radio airwaves back in 1988 when cell phones were about the size of shoe boxes..
