  • A comment on Conversation: Are we in a tech bubble?

    Feb 18 2011: We are all that little bit wiser after the bubble of 99, but that doesn't mean that the same mistakes won't be made again. The same mistakes just won't be made by as many.

    For a lot of us,1999 doesn't seem that long ago, but the reality is, is that it is right now, 12 years in the past. There is almost a new generation of Digital Natives, who are smart, but many not fully recall the impacts of that Tech Bubble, nor were they professionally impacted by the devestation. At the time they were minors. One that comes to mind is Mark Zuckerberg. His company has had an interesting run, and its current valuation could be argued as somewhat inflated, and hugely dependant on what this young man has up his sleeve.

    My direct answer to the question, is that I think there are many bubbles forming, different sizes and shapes. Some will pop and no one will notice, and the big ones that do pop, will keep us all talking.

    A comment on Talk: Elizabeth Gilbert: Your elusive creative genius

    May 31 2009: Creativity can often feel like a curse as much as it is a gift. Usually its the creative one who thinks differently to everyone else, and sometimes has to experience numerous "dumb" ideas before landing that magic one. When the creative one is applauded with that magic idea, the expectation is that there are many of those ideas to follow, without failure.
    In photography, theres a saying "Great photography is not showing your bad shots"
    There are some key points that resonate in this talk to me. Catching ideas is always a challenge, particularly for the songwriter. Being the channel for creativity rather that being the source of creativity. Reading Paul McCartney's autobiography was interesting as in hindsight, he remarked that the songs they wrote were about their ordeals in life, but they wroth these without knowing it at the time.
    Creativity is treated with caution in business, treated with excitement as an entrepreneur but is always some kind of a disruption.
