Which entrepreneur/business magazines, newspapers, books have you found helpful enough to recommend to other SUNnies -ers -ites?  Just looking on Amazon, there are thousands of books, dozens of magazines and newspapers - which ones do you like?  Maybe even, gasp, another website?

PS - what are we called?  is there a consensus on what members of the forum are collectively called?

Business 2.0 is indispendible... indespensable... indispens....
I can`t do without it.
Anyhow. I`m not sure what we`re called... I like SUNies. I toyed with SuNs-a-Rich`s... but I thought he might be offended.

That`s as funny as a SuNs-a-Rich! I think your right about offensive though.

SUNnies verges on sunnis vs. shiites. and we`re not going there!

and SUN`s-a-RICHs would only be offensive to JEFF. (remember, big brothers always need more acknowledgement than we youngens...)

SUNsters?

SUNsons/SUNdaughters?

SUNiacs?

SUNday/SUNnight?

SUNrisers?

SUNson? (good for japanese community members)

biSUN? (no, that could be terribly misinterpreted)

SUNsters...

as for magazines/books, etc., you may want to check out the thread on that topic here... or here....

Make covers a range of projects and hobbies--from building swings to robotics...
I just like it because (since I`m not very technical) the articles are fairly simple to follow--so this it`s educational.

I`m kicking around some ideas to automate parts of our bakery operation.

What types of inventions do you work with? What process do you go through to determine whether an idea is feasible and worth pursuing?

I have a few product ideas that I`ve been messing around with. The electronics part is my weak spot. But I`m learning.
As far as the process... I mentally play with the idea to see if it`s feasible. I have my wife to bounce the idea off of. A few friends. Some online research. And, then, I do some work on the uspto.gov site, looking for prior art and patents that may cover the idea.
My next step is to create a prototype. Testing the waters there.
That`s pretty much it.
