Publication number: 20100292819Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating post-burial audio communications from surviving family members, friends, and loved ones by adapting a burial casket or other container of remains of the departed with an electronic audio communication system that automatically generates post-burial communications within or in proximity to the casket. The burial casket is thus adapted with an audio message system containing electronically stored audio and music files that are automatically played in accordance with a programmed schedule thereby allowing surviving members means for communicating to the deceased for a period of time after burial. An electronic device having a data storage system for storing recorded audio, such as messages from family and friends, music, or any other suitable audio file is provided. A date tracking timer allows for the selective broadcast of audio content automatically in accordance with user programmed and selected scheduling.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2010Publication date: November 18, 2010Inventor: Jeff Dannenberg

Publication number: 20100179910Abstract: A creative writing method including a series of books wherein each book tells a story that includes an incomplete final chapter having unresolved character and/or plot issues and wherein readers are encouraged to create and submit suggested storylines to resolve and complete the final chapter and continue the story. Submitted suggested final chapter endings are reviewed and at least one is selected for incorporation into the story. The selected submission provides the storyline upon which the story continues and is edited for print as the first chapter of the next book in the series, and the contributing reader/author gains authorship and publication credit. The method is particularly well suited for books and stories for children and teens, with stories that teach and explore moral, developmental, and educational matters.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2009Publication date: July 15, 2010Inventor: Jeff Dannenberg

Publication number: 20090298656Abstract: A muscle toning exercise device adaptable from a stationary configuration wherein the device is capable of 360° rotation about a vertical axis, to a movable configuration wherein the device is capable of movement in all directions on a planar surface in addition to 360° rotation. The exercise device includes a handle that extends out from a base that supports the weight of a user. The base of the exercise device contains a series of rolling members that protrude out from the bottom to allow the device to move along the surface upon which the exercise is being performed so that the entire exercise device can be rotated a full 360° about an axis that extends through the center of the device, while further allowing for the displacement of the base, and subsequently the entire exercise device in any direction along a planar surface. A separate cup-shaped base member that rests on the planar surface and in which the exercise device may be selectively installed in covering relation with the rolling members.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2008Publication date: December 3, 2009Inventor: Jeff Dannenberg
