Design blogs and the “blobjects” they feature are useful in that they coninuously anthologize the very latest in technocrat aesthetics. For professional purposes only, we are wont to admire the fluid design of what often amounts to decadent plastic toy robots. In doing so, we constantly come across mundane objects rendered totally original. These discoveries typically entail a moment of quiet reflection, where we take pause to marvel at the sheer cleverness of capitalizing on such an obvious idea, and perhaps invoke the metaphor of sliced bread and greatness.

In thinking about this phenomenon further, we began to connect it to the larger esoteric concept informing our main blog, Corender.com. Ordinarily, we try to share examples of co-rendering which ostensibly portray the aggregate wisdom of the crowd as open source market research. To create or invent based on this model, however, a systematic approach to managing insight is required. Unfortunately, Co-render.com does not expound thoroughly on the tactical measures such a system requires.

The Inventive Thinking Project is our new soap box; a proseletyzing vehicle for sharing our vision of open source crowd management. Like a design blog, it aggregates instances of ingenious thinking and original ideas, while explaining (systematically) how a novel solution was generated.

In other words, it is way to prove that inventive thinking can be achieved at any place, at any time, and under any circumstances, provided the creator is sufficiently endowed with the proper tools and insights. We want to show that the question “where’d you get that great idea?” always has a tangible answer.

Oh, and that we have the answer.
