I really enjoyed this video of a talk by Steven Johnson called 'Where good ideas come from' especially because it kind of relates to my motivations for this blog. My blog is basically my incubator system for my small hunches I collect from the internet (see the video)! He also briefly talks about how DISTRACTIONS on the internet can lead to 'miraculous and marvelous new ways to connect...So many ways to reach out and find other people who have that missing piece, which will complete the idea we're working on. We're to stumble serendipitously across some amazing new piece of information that we can use to build and improve our own ideas'.
Definitely worth a watch.
Steven Johnson says "Go for a walk; cultivate hunches; write everything down; but keep your folders messy; embrace serendipity; make generative mistakes; take on multiple hobbies, frequent coffee houses and other liquid networks; follow the links; let others build on your ideas; borrow, recycle, reinvent." - From BBC News homepage 8th November 2010.
