Actually, I'm already doing this with the excellent <a href="http://flyingmeat.com/voodoopad/" rel="nofollow">VoodooPad</a>, where I have a special document in which I keep all the little ideas that come together. Additionally, once I'm starting to flesh an idea out, it gets "promoted" to having its own VP document. Depending on wether I'm still working on it or if it has been scrapped, I keep them in different folders. This way, I can do exactly that, and I'm in fact often coming back to old ideas, just to read through them again to maybe get some new inspiration. Good point!

I went to a session at SXSW this past weekend with Jim Coudal and he talked about idea scrapping. One thing to do is to stick everything into a notebook of some sort. You never know when you might pull it back out again or some derivative of the idea. Hi Georg — good post.
