It refers to what I believe is the most amazing toy, tool and domain available to each and every one of us... our mind.
Imagination, creativity, invention - all these are, in our minds, unbounded.
Inside our heads we have the means to create worlds, to construct alternate realities, to contemplate the best and worst, the known and unknown, the possible and the impossible! Of course we cannot live solely inside our heads and the world outside introduces limits - practical, social, personal - and, hopefully, a sense of responsibility. Within these limits, though, there remain countless opportunities or challenges (glass half full, or empty?) and, if you keep an open mind, the very constraints of a situation can lead to ingenious, elegant or unexpected solutions.
I like finding out, talking about and doing this sort of stuff, so this particular 'infinite ideas machine' is intended as a playground, a workshop and an exploration - and, if I'm lucky, the vehicle for a conversation or two along the way :)
