TRIZ for the Real World

I'm not a big fan of Twitter because my ego says that it takes more than 140 characters to say important things, and because I find it difficult to extract new learning from the stream of tweets that come from hundreds of people.   BUT Twitter has been a very good discipline for me -- trying to find TRIZ lessons in the constant stream of things I read, see, and experience.   If you'd like constant updates, join Twitter http://www.twitter.com/   and "follow" me @ellendomb.   If you prefer to get batches instead of constant input, here are the posts for the last 2 weeks and the planned ones for the coming week.   Comments, please?
