Creativity

I like Pixar because their movies are always engaging on two levels. On the basic level, we have fun following the action of the story. On a higher level, we experience the sense of discovery as the characters mature from selfish motive to responding to something bigger than the self.

I've been helping an all-Filipino team to create a consumer tech product. Sorry, can't give out details for now. But here is what we can reveal for now.

It's something that will demonstrate that we Filipinos can produce a tech product locally. The R&D is being done garage-style -- lower costs, virtual collaboration, team mates contributing labor beyond their day jobs because they believe in this project.

Help us generate awareness on the project. If you're interested to blog about it or write a story about it for any type of media, feel free to repost the messages below. You may also contact me through rubencanlas(at)gmail(dot)com.

It's always fun to know that a little creativity can always beat brute force. For several years, Nintendo's Game Cube got trounced by Sony Playstation and Microsoft Xbox. Nintendo's counter-attack?

Instead of throwing more money to make chip technology faster and faster, Nintendo took a step back and did some creative thinking. It came up with the now famous wireless motion controllers.
