"Maybe a thought is like a virus, you know, it can kill all the healthy thoughts and just take over. That would be serious."
- Mark Hunter in Pump Up the Volume (1990)
Ideas, in my experience, are a bit the same. You can cling to them without fully testing them, a bit like the dream of owning a Lamborghini, until you realise it won't fit your family of four.
A while ago I read Scott Belsky's book Making Ideas Happen. It's a good read - neatly summarised here - but on finishing it I didn't manage to start progressing the endless stream of ideas bouncing around in my head.
This blog is in part a response to both those points.
This blog is in part a whiteboard to capture ideas as they come along.
Maybe it'll prompt me to organise, assess, expand and progress them.
Hopefully it'll be a public forum that'll hold me accountable for converting more ideas into actual things.
Ideally it'll turn me into doer of remarkable things, and the place I live a whole lot better.
At the very least I'll be blogging again.
