So true. The bane of every creative thinker is the crack of the precious idea. To keep my thinking loose, I keep a blog where I purge all my ideas both great and stupid in order to get them out of my head. The more ideas I get out onto the blog, the more new ones I have.

If working on real projects is exercise for your creative mind, then think of a 'sketch' blog as stretching; it makes your mind limber so you don't get stuck in a brain rut.

Check out my blog to see what I mean - Let my stupid ideas serve as entertainment and inspiration that you have better ones you're still hesitating to share for one reason or another. Let my good ideas serve as brain fodder that you can steal and improve upon.

Nice, I've been doing the same for the past few years on my blog (http://astartupaday.com) as well. Definitely a good way to get some creative ideas flowing and to get the bad ones out of your head as quickly as possible.
