- Innovative minds don’t think alike. I have a love / hate relationship with this article. Can you count the number of innovation myths here?
- Google is God. Some interesting stats and throwing down of the M word in comments. Also see this for a retort.
- What have you changed your mind about. Why? The latest question from the folks at edge.
- David Simon, Producer of The Wire (my favorite TV show), on the importance of dissent.

I can’t believe Ms Rabe thinks that Eveready story is the type of innovation they are hyping (i.e. beginner’s luck). They had a marketing problem and they brought in a marketing expert. She used her marketing expertise to dramatically increase the saleability of their product. Yeah, it was innovative in that no one else had made a pink flashlight before, but it was her expertise and not naïvety that saved this product.
Bingo. What isn’t innovation given the way this article uses the term? I was also annoyed by the complaint about jargon, followed by the tossing in of “zero-gravity thinker” - what?
