I had some thoughts on the drive home, and I'm going to keep this short:
1. I think the problem-solving competition web site is a good idea. I think we should try to establish that there is demand for such an idea before we put money into building it.
2. A way to do this is to host a competition online that could be a model for how we want the site to operate.
3. I still think we should try to enter a competition ourselves to get our work-flow ironed out, get our juices flowing, and keep us motivated.

we also need to work on creating our actual business, legal papers and a bank account
and look for a web site programmer who wants to do this for free or for sexual favors by colin (sorry)
another thought...for this competition website we should set up a 501c3, the GroupOne2 Foundation, to run it, allowing people to make donations to us for prize money. this website will be the foundation's first project however it can grow to sponsoring other events, scholarships to students in design and even sponsoring n'goshi to obtain his green card
i imagine we can be set up like this... http://www.biomimicry.net/
I'm on board with entering a competition and starting to develop our own competition. Those are two things that can happen before we try to launch the blog to gain some experience and know how. Also, like brooks said, to find out just how much interest we can gather.
The splash page to that website is similar to other companies with main sites and blogs, RVCA has the same btw there main site, blog, and online shop. We'll have to leave out biomimicry's sweet bark imagery though...

I do like that landing page as well as the NPO idea.
