Inventors...who are they?

I have so many ideas for inventions its not even funny. So as my quest through the net I have discovered a place that has some really interesting stories talking about inventors and their inventions. Davinci Institute is described on their site as:
The DaVinci Institute produces a number of unique events ranging from the two monthly networking event - the Night with a Futurist, and the Startup Junkie Underground - to a series of Boot Camps and Crash Courses primarily designed around serving the needs of businesses and entrepreneurs. Our events feature some of the most talented thinkers and seasoned veterans who have fundamentally changed the business landscape with the sheer weight of the footprints they leave behind. Our goal for each of these events is to serve as a turning point in the lives of all people who attend.
I have found a few places in my area in this area. I will post those in a later post.
