Seth Godin made me do it.

Take your meaningful tragic works: how about a happy ending making the Booker for once

What drives humananity's insatiable urge for the new and different? Can't we just settle for what we've got and leave innovation to take care of itself?

No.

Adapt and survive - to abandon the hunt for innovation is to go against our irrepressible instincts for discovery of new ways to influence the world which we inhabit as a species no more than a newborn but already reaching out for objects to try.

Hand in hand with this noble innocence, it's our destiny to watch crap TV and believe adverts which appeal to our craving for novelty. We know the content is either vacuous or wrong but the style of delivery is interesting.

The veneer becomes the substance. We inevitably foster creativity, crass or constructive. Wheat does not come without chaff and humans do not come without hype.

2007 in review

2007 has, for me, been a lot like 2006, with different people and different places.

Now I've moved half way across the World to do something different, I sure hope the experience will be epiphaniogenic.

The cold North country was inspiring an' all but my new gaff is a tad bigger and inexplicably, more complicated.

Ooh I like your [insert platitude here]

Here's a novel idea: instead of foaming it up like a pretentiously-cloying dessert from an outrageously-flambouyant coffee shop, how about everyone saying what they really think of each other tomorrow? Let's see what's left of humanity by 25th December.
