True Innovation!

People seem to think Innovation is limited to the R&D labs tucked away at the back of huge companies where scientists are locked away in seclusion working on the 'next best thing'

And we couldn't be more wrong. Innovation happens everywhere. It happens with the street busker trying new ways to get you're money

It could be using science and art to make an add that takes people's breath away and also get's their attention 

Or it could be something as simple as using an empty unused plastic bottle to make a light bulb

Remember: You are not here for the pay check, you are here for the Adventure. and hopefully you're up for it!!

The Ear iPhone CasesWhat a great idea! Hahaha! I want one too :)

The Daily Prophet - A reality?!

Just came across this awesome video on Youtube. Could the fictional world of Harry Potter become a reality? Could each of us be holding a copy of the magical daily newspaper where words and pictures come to life in the reader’s hands, in the not so distant future?

Well its a possibility - apparently,  A Cambridge-based company is months away from launching the world’s first flexible electronic screen. I have also heard that German electronics giant Siemens unveiled a working prototype at the Plastics Electronics trade fair in Frankfurt.


Very Exciting!

Need funding for a great new idea?

Have a bright idea that could make you the next Mark zuckerberg? Not sure where you're going to get the money from? Waiting to build you're capital in a job you don't like? 

Sound familiar? Fear no more - Kickstarter is here.

For those of you who haven't heard of Kickstarter already - Kickstarter is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields

Example of a hilarious yet creative project one kickstarter

This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.

On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.

Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. So what are you waiting for...give you're great big idea the kick start it needs

Back to the Start

I know, I am late with posting this one, but I am absolutely loving this stop-motion video directed by Johnny Kelly for Chipotle. 





Not only is the video beautifully executed but what a brilliant message it carries. Think about it,  have you ever thought  about what you buy and where your food comes from? How it is made, what conditions it is produced in and who is producing it?


I only recently begun to watch what type of food I buy and where I buy it and that was all because I watched Food Inc. recently. The food Industry (much like the energy sector) is headed for a slow but sure over-haul over the next few years  and chipotle is just the beginning of that revolution...

Put it down!

The Mobile phone though a great invention has gotten us more disconnected from each other than connected. For example, I went out to trivia last night with a few friends and whilst we waited for our food to arrive, everyone was on their phones, either texting, playing angry birds, words with friends or randomly browsing things online. 

The majority of people on trains/waiting for the bus do exactly the same. In daily conversations, it is no longer considered rude to pull your phone out mid-conversation just to look at someone's text.  

Such a shame don't you think? Now compare that with Steve Lambert a guy who will talk with anyone about anything. People come up to his little pop-up-table and if they don’t know what they want to talk about he keeps a list of questions such as:

- how about this weather?
- what have you been up to lately?
- what are you doing after this?
- how are things?

This formula has lead to conversations with all kinds of strangers on topics from the weather to the Iranian revolution, Native American philosophy, agriculture, film, etc. I can understand why the table is very popular. 

Here's to reaching out to the people right in front of us. I hope all of us become a Steve Lambert in our own little way
