What if I don't have an idea?
sfamiliar: walk through your next week and carry a notebook, making a note of all the things you think of that you wish existed, but don't.  when i do this, it's generally through little irritations, conveniences that save me 3-4 minutes, realizations about people's work process -- that kind of thing.  go fishing in the real world.  do this until an idea for a product hits you.  it will, and likely soon: something you want or need that no one provides.in the meantime, get into a startup, on an equity basis.  look for contribution to the work, not a paycheck.  learn the atmosphere, see what works and what doesn't.  get involved with your local user groups and search for a partner, someone like-minded.put down the tech for a bit and read.  spin down the head for a bit.  my best ideas happen when i'm not thinking about them.it's really a question of the want-to.  if you have that, you'll be okay.
