An intensive 4 1/2 days of taking our original system concept - a "memetic difference engine" - into these labs and having it kicked and pummelled into shape - innovation may be about inspiration and perspiration, but there has also been quite a bit of sleep deprivation too.
We have talked a little more about what our particular project is on our own blog at Broadstuff, if anyone is interested.
What has been interesting about the week is seeing the range of other ideas, the range of skills and talents that the rest of the participants have to share, and the infectious nature of creativity being unleashed.
All in all a great experience (not always fun, but always useful), we have met some most excellent people and had some amazingly insightful conversations. In fact, as a process alone it has much to recommend it. And it has forced our ideas forward far faster than otherwise.
