Quirky demands a sign-up. Put your pictures somewhere more useful please. |

The last Quirky left me feeling jilted. I have to ask myself; do I want to feel that again?
I did several sketches for ideas both posted and un-posted there. When they disappeared it pissed me off. Being pissed off is not conducive to maintaining a creative state of mind. |

Is the 'new' Quirky going to reinstate my 'old' Quirky submissions or are they forever lost? |
|

well, if you do a quirky.com image search there are lots of mildly improved things, particularly kitchenware and cord organizers, which gives me a kind of idea about what Quirky is. Also it looks like people actually arrange to make stuff and have it at stores. |

I am a halfbakery fan, because here I can say silly things like "gradual grid ||||| in-plug stepped voltage lowerers so when you unplug electronics suddenly the power steps down microgradually, possibly reducing risks to electronics' instead of a new shape of headphone cord like Quirky. |

That said, I do not understand how a backpack can keep pushing me forward. I can imagine a backpack that changes my posture to be more ergonomic, causing me to be a slightly more efficient hiker. Another possibility is like roller luggage with ratcheted wheels, if there is any micro-backwards motion from walking (don't think there is) the energy is always pushing off a support. |

Anyway, I think it is likely a cool idea. If you like, explain it further here. |

If I'm lugging around a motorized backpack, then
1: how many more breaks am I going to need considering the
weight of the motor, and
2: why lug it at all--just let the wheel take the weight? |
