Innovate Or Die

Once, Peter F. Drucker said that "Only Marketing & Innovation generates revenue, the rest creates cost" and recently developing theory in marketing is called "Lateral marketing". They're all show that creativity has significant role in development of business, personal quality, etc.
So, it's very intersting to me to read creative books like "The Art Of Innovation" that describes very innovative US corporate IDEO or "Purple Cow" by Seth Godin.
Do you have any thoughts / experience / information on these kind of things, please feel free to share, discuss or even ask me about them, just send me e-mail (d_swa@yahoo.com) or contact me via Yahoo! Messenger (d_swa). Don't stop Innovate!

Megathrust Earthquake hits Asia & Africa :(

Megathrust Earthquake - about 9 Richter scale - hits Asia & Africa, creates tsunamis - very huge seawaves up to 10 meters high - to many places, made a lot of casualities in many countries from Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Somalia and other countries. The earthquake also moved small islands as much as 20 metres, according to one expert.

"That earthquake has changed the map," US Geological Survey expert told AFP. And it also incredibly made the earth woble in its axis, so actually we're all affected by this nature's power.

Here are some Indonesian media (TV or newspaper) bank accounts available giving you opportunities to take part to help them who suffered from this disaster :

1. Indosiar, Bank Acc : BCA, No : 001 - 304 - 00092
2. RCTI, Bank Acc : BCA, No : 128 - 300 -7000
3. Kompas, Bank Acc : BCA, No :012-301-6600

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year 2005

Amazing Photo

Here is one example of how we can restore a photo to look better. It's my friend's photo with a poor lighting and red ink all around it (see "before"), so I improved the pic resolution, removed the red ink & other objects that distort the beauty of the image, cropped it, added "soft focus" effect and varied the color level, and u can see the result (see "after", click to enlarge). What do u think, please give some comments, so we can improve it together, you can just click comments or simply use "Shout It Loud" box below at the rightside menu. (To Britt : thank's a lot).
