Everyone from Cupertino to Cooperstown to Cambodia to China. My last blog ended with a Simon & Garfunkel reference to Steve Jobs as our generation’s Joe DiMaggio and how Tech-Nation turns it’s lonely eyes to the Google guys – Larry & Sergey.

For me, new idea generation isn’t just easy, it’s something I’m doing all the time and often without trying. I do not believe this is an innate ability but rather, a ‘skill’ that I’ve learned and practiced over the entire course of my life.
