""creative conversations don't happen because of a CEO mandate or a task force charter. A 2005 MIT study found that 80 percent of the breakthrough innovations in products and services did not occur in formal situations or R&D. Rather, dynamic innovation was almost always the result of informal (even chance) encounters"."

The inspiration for this first event on Serious Games comes from Jane McGonigal's TED talk on Serious Games, and David Helgason's declaration of the 'Year of Gamification'. The event will examine how games and games technologies are being brought into 'serious' areas, as well as how serious tasks are being made more game-like. There are three ways that games can be adopted by other sectors: * by generating positive side effects from gameplay; * by creating technology that can be reused; * and by increasing engagement with a problem or activity. Mary Matthews from Blitz Games Studios and Alex Fleetwood from Hide and Seek, will discuss future opportunities and the event will be chaired by Stian Westlake, Director of Policy & Research Unit, NESTA.

Excellent blog on how the West can learn from innovations in developing countries. This may use digital media as an example, but the principle must surely apply to solution finding and innovation in many contexts.

I set up this website in order to experiment with the emerging Semantic Web and Linked Data Web. I'm not really interested (at this stage) in creating a pretty website so please forgive the amateurish look of these pages. Maybe I'll change this with time, but for now I'm more interesting in what's going on under the bonnet and for now it's all about the RDF. These pages are best viewed in Firefox. To get the most from these pages there are a number of addons you can install to transform your web browswer into a semantic web browser: Semantic Radar - a simple plugin that detects semantic web technologies on a webpage Operator - lets you do cool stuff with microformats and RDFa Tabulator - a neat way to browse RDF and linked data on the semantic web OpenLink Data Explorer - another data browser for the semantic web Welcome, and enjoy...
