Paul Hobcraft

Jeffrey Phillips

I've been reading and thinking a lot lately about what is described as a "culture of innovation". I think a culture of innovation is kind of like a unicorn: it would be cool if it existed, and some people claim to have seen one, but when you get up close it's just a normal animal that happens to be missing a horn.
