Appendixstorming
From Eurekamp 2010
In human anatomy, the appendix'''' is a blind ended tube connected to the cecum, from which it develops embryologically ... the biological purpose of the appendix has mystified scientists for some time...

'NUDNIC of Appendixstorming 2010 - Or-Tal Kiriati. Please coordinate any activity with her.
Appendixstorming is the name for a group of innovative fun activities, different from cortexstorming, aimed at stimulating generation and sharing of ideas. These activities are not widely recognized as ideas-stimulating and their contribution to inspiration is mystified, and EureKamp will serve, as usual, as a testing ground for them. It is an attempt to "storm" idea generation from an innovativeunusual, mystically related (but still fun) direction.
There will be 4 appendixstorming activities in EureKamp, each 1-hour long.
You're welcome to participate and especially to suggest your own type of activity.
In case there will be more than 4 suggested activities, we will choose the coolest 4 and allow for last minute changes.

Constant hit at EureKamp!
We will substitute pricey psychologists with a free stage for all those who really hate something and try to help them with a practical solution to their problem. Each participant will have 3-5 min to present what they hate - each presentation should start with "I Hate'". We will have a prize for the most passionate and artistic "I Hate" performance.

Many animals live in communities. Let's design the perfect social network for penguins, lions or seagulls maybe.
I wonder what their version of Farmville would be like.
This is the place for all you social thinkers to show off with the ideas your clients/bosses never approve. And to make it real, we'll need you too UI experts and talented graphic designers. Thank you!

5. Random Startups
We'll create totally random titles for a product/startup (e.g. "Shared Disposable Tomato") and inhale a meaning and pour real content into them against all odds.
Then we'll select the best one (and invest random money in it) ...
Host ???
6. "Lama Lo?" - get negative feedback before you pitch an idea.
Everybody has ideas. We like to speak about them with other people. What other people like most is to trash our ideas.
What if we hear reasons why not to do something before we suggest the idea? Will it help us with the pitch? Can we learn generic responses to trashing?
Lets try, it can help with pitches to VC's, business partners and FFF.
