Andy Warhol said that, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." So I’m hoping that my 15 minutes of fame didn’t already pass me by. On October 17th the Virginian Pilot ran the attached story about my Pancake Flat wagons and my patent license deal with Radio Flyer...its been great to have this press but is it all downwards from here? I hope not...

So I’m going to have to rely on another pop icon, Kevin Bacon, to help me out. Most people have heard of the "six degrees of separation" theory -- the idea that everyone in the world is separated from everyone else by six links. But is the notion just a pop culture myth or is it a fact of life?
With the help of facebook I want to see if I can prove the six degrees of separation. The 7 inch thin Pancake Flat metal wagon is not something many folks have ever seen before. They look at the sequence of wheel folding images and are baffled: hey, I have never seen a wagon or carts wheels fold like that before?! If you agree that my inventions are very cool I simply ask you to “like us” on facebook and even better, please post this link to the Pancake Wheel's page on your facebook page! If you share the link with your friends please ask them to share the link too! Maybe we can crowd source this to learn if the six degrees of separation actually exist and I will keep my Pancake Wagons FB friends posted on what happens with my various inventions. Oh, yeah: my version of the Pancake Flat wagon is for sale on FoldFlatWorld.com . and I will be working to bring my world’s thinnest fold flat Pancake jogging stroller to the market as well.
