Fire up the brainstorm generators!

New week, new module. Concept & Development. If I had to believe my feed reader, everybody seems quited filled with joy by having this module. Which in theory should be the most dull one. No hands on work now, but plain brainstorming, developing a buisness plan for a certain product and then pitching it upon investers. Still, a lot of people seem to be stressed by the amount of work. I feel less as there is no hands on work, no several nights in a row of scripting or keyframing. I think this module is going to be quite relaxing, at least for my standards.

The should be comedian Teo@interesting.org confronted us why the young & creative people on one of the most creative school in one of the most creative countries in the world weren't that creative. To quote "Noo, that is not being creative! that's just being stupid!" Meaning, we suck (we are crossing some UGL borders here). Luckily he showed us some martial mind arts how to be creative instead of being stupid. Some of the attacks I actually knew from previous education or inspiration, but its good to refresh if you want to become a black belt.

Our Mission was handed out today by Micke Ahlstrom, another black belt in developing Concepts & Buisness Plans. He also gave us some good tips. The "Masculine Tech Group", as we like to refer our group to, adapted and developed one of his tips straight into Brainstormr . A web 2.5 random brainstorm generator. Which was actually one of the best of the over 20 ideas we generated today. We are actually thinking of developing this a bit further with some neat flickr plugins for some nice visualisations.

So things are going well. The current group is filled with manly ninjas; Tore, Erik, Zirath and Filip, we probably manage to get rich this module. In the meanwhile: the fireplace at Duckburg is burning like hell, and I fixed myself a freelance job for the next couple of months. Comfort & Money: the cornerstones for every succesfull life.
