I was thinking about innovation this morning actually - how do we innovate? Is it on purpose? I thought that most of the innovation actually comes in one of two ways - by picturing a bright future and bringing the world to it, and much more frequently by coincidence. You are trying to achieve something you envision and most of the times you fail, but in the process of doing this you discover something new. And even then you can actually not realise that you have innovated. Most of the times a certain amount of time needs to pass in order you and the world to realise what you have done.

Also recently I come to think that the graphic design (or any form of design) is actually far more scientific that I would think it is. For me it looked a lot of like magic in the beginning, but the more I learn about it, the more I think its pretty similar to development. On the basis level they are both about process, best practices, operating under constraints and of course logical thinking. And on top of that its just a matter of taste.
