What's it all about

Over the last few months I've really felt the need to start writing and sharing my ideas with people. I wanted to start a blog on Practical Innovation after reading about a MIT professor working in Peru to help improve the quality of life for the village people by coming up with simple solutions to every day tasks, she noted that she calls her type of innovation "practical innovation" and after reading the article I felt that it's definitely something the world needs more of. Sometime incredibly simple solutions are often the best. To put it another way, one of my co-workers says that the best type of software systems are extremely complex behind the scenes but deliver a simple solution for the user on the front end. I think the best example is to think about Google and the simple little text box they created to allow you to do search, yet behind the scenes there is an army of people and servers trying to deliver the worlds information to you and make it searchable. So if you pick up this RSS feed I hope you enjoy my thoughts and I'd love your ideas and comments too!
