This video “Mankind Is No Island” was winner of the NY Tropfest 2008. I find this a beautiful piece of video, shot using only a mobile phone camera and found images. While a video about humankind may not appear to have a connection with creativity and innovation, to me it is totally connected. Personally, I cannot live me life, thinking "I'm so creative", if at the same time people close to me are homeless, starving, or go through life, never experiencing empathy or human contact. The Creativity Hub is not just about ideas, it's about people. It's about humankind.

I've been following the development of 3D printers for a while now. Why? Well, because I imagine a day when the Rory's Story Cubes community will be able to design, upload and share their own icons, and them print their own sets of Rory's Story Cubes using a 3D Printer. Desktop Factory have recently launched a 3D printer selling for about $5000 - a similar price to the first Apple LaserWriter. The LaserWriter is often touted as kick-starting the desktop publishing revolution. Say goodbye to limited choice, and high prices, say hello to the next wave user-generated creativity!

I love this presentation, especially how Richard St. John has distilled 500 interviews into 8 key words. And, he uses visuals and humour to aid memorability! My thanks to Beverly Addis over at Axis Recruitment for passing this on.

Having an amateur interest in quantum physics, and more than passing interest in discovering the meaning of life, I have been following CERN's progress with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) over the past few years with interest. A video entitled "The Bottle to Bang" by Chris Mann (6 min)posted on the CERN website (and sourced via a recent EnlightenNext newsletter) has been really helpful for me in making sense of what the heck is going on there.
