The Art of Innovation

Very, very, cool. From the guys that brought us Contextual Design. All about keeping teams creative, innovative, and keeping work fun. Deconstructs many of the myths of innovation... and some good design tips too. Best quotes:
  • "Make simple things simple, complex things possible."
  • "Fail often to succeed sooner."
  • "The best way to get a good idea is to get a lot of ideas."
