1. Space (“You can’t become playful, and therefore creative, if you’re under your usual pressures.”)

2. Time (“It’s not enough to create space; you have to create your space for a specific period of time.”)

3. Time (“Giving your mind as long as possible to come up with something original,” and learning to tolerate the discomfort of pondering time and indecision.)

4. Confidence (“Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake.”)

5. Humor (“The main evolutionary significance of humor is that it gets us from the closed mode to the open mode quicker than anything else.”)

animalstalkinginallcaps: HELLO THERE! WELCOME TO HELL. MY NAME’S TODD, AND I’LL BE BURROWING INTO YOU FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MILLENNIA WHILE YOUR SCREAMS JOIN THE UNCEASING CHORUS OF THE DAMNED. IT’S A REAL PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU WITH US. THERE’S COFFEE AND A VERY DELICIOUS PIE JUST OVER THERE IN THE COMMON ROOM IF YOU WANT ANY. YOU CAN’T HAVE IT, OF COURSE, BECAUSE THAT WOULD KIND OF DEFEAT THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT, BUT WE DIDN’T WANT YOU TO THINK WE’RE NOT GOOD HOSTS.  SO, SHALL WE BEGIN? Too funny.

8bitfuture: Is Yahoo trying to buy Tumblr? According to reports, Yahoo could be preparing to offer up to $1 billion for Tumblr. Here’s hoping that deal doesn’t go through, I used to love Flickr until Yahoo took it over (Related, this is a great read on that subject). Delicious was good before Yahoo took it over too… And Geocities… And probably many of these 76 companies. Yahoo just shouldn’t have nice things! Flikr and Geocities were pretty good back in the  day.
