Ingenuity

Innovation is often not so much a new idea, but the reapplication or re-engineering of existing ideas in a more useful manner.

Since my last posting about web 3.0, I've had a sense of inspiration like I've never had before. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to actually apply the inspiration to a degree that I'm happy with, but my mind has been churning constantly.

I can't sleep. I can't even really maintain a thought stream longer than a minute or two without an entirely different angle being played back through my mind.

This is a good feeling, but my mind is so entrenched in various pathways that I feel a little bonkers at the moment. I'm also afraid that things are going so fast that I won't remember them, and they are entirely too complex to be put down on paper in any sort of reviewable format.

I don't know what to do with myself, I'm so giddy right now. At this point, I will not sleep until I've made some serious progress. At least to the point where I can actually have a meaningful discussion about it. I tried telling my wife about my idea on two occasions and received one blank stare and the second time I received a look that I won't soon forget, but I can't actually describe. If I catch it again, I'll take a picture :).
