The Birth of a Hacker Culture
When you think of a hacker, what do you think of? A man who breaks into your bank accounts? Someone who steals important documents? To programmers, though, it’s actually a compliment. The new definition of hacker is “a clever programmer.” And within San Antonio and the United States, there are too few of these clever hackers. How do we increase this number? By building a culture of hacking. Through hackathons, maker-fairs and side projects, we can build a culture of hacking that leads to innovation. In this talk, you’ll learn of the various efforts that are underway, as well as how you can be a part of the culture and become a hacker too!
Design Thinking recognizes the power of connections and harmony in nature and thus works towards acting as a unifying power in what ever action it takes.

Design Thinking has its limits in working with what is visible and finite, we must sense the invisible and acknowledge the infinite.

So I've read this book cover to cover, and I still don't understand why my mom insists on using a book, an apple, and a hat in every single photograph!
Kwanon is a resourceful camera. He thought of a creative way to quickly but efficiently dry the wet tape of a Mini DV using only a drill, pencil, and hair blow dryer. The tape needs to be dry inside the video cassette in order to successfully transfer these memories to a DVD.

Design Thinking, through the acknowledgment of 'the map in not the territory', works to insure that only the most valuable generalizations are made from specific experiences, that only the most valuable differences are made in our representations, and that only the most valuable selections of the world are included.
Playfulness is essential to creativity and creative thinking. Great ideas rarely come to those who scowl!

Let simple thoughts move beyond the box. While thinking inside the box - it's a black / white world...Outside the box...a myriad of colors flourish with creative thinking.

Practice the art of simplicity today by making an interesting photo from a minimalist perspective (@domingocaceres).
From ideation to evaluation to solution. When the thinking and decision process is made visual, even those not present for the discussion understand how decisions were made.
Creative insights and actions, as well as practical goals and plans, all begin with a dream. Visualize it richly and colorfully!

We made a trip to Barnes and Noble... my favorite bookstore.. Hope it survives a bit longer (as Borders we found out is closing....)......
This was a super-cool book I found to help one with improving creative thinking and being innovative. I am still looking through it. It's jam packed full of interesting ideas. I picked this up in hopes I will use some of these tips/strategies/exercises with students in India when I do some college interaction sessions.

I have already done some sessions on motivation and goal setting - see a video of my experience at Jai Bharath College. In the video, I talk about the session I did and some cross-cultural observations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWumLxnhDlk

Beginnings are always messy.
~ John Galsworthy
Creativity is messy sometimes. Doing something that's never been done before takes a lot of experimentation. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't. Highly creative people are not bothered by the messiness because they know the messiness leads to great inspiration and discoveries. When faced with challenges, allowing things to get a little messy can result in insightful, inspired solutions.
People take the longest possible paths, digress to numerous dead ends, and make all kinds of mistakes. Then historians come along and write summaries of this messy, nonlinear process and make it appear like a simple, straight line.
~ Dean Kamen
