#25 Innovage
I’m a believer in the “I” words. Ideas, Intuition, Invention, Inspiration, innovation… and now… Innovage. Add vintage to innovation and you’ll be time traveling, speeding back to the future. This implosion of past, present and future is what the Aboriginal people of Australia called “the Everywhen.” It was, and is, timeless time. Th...

#26 Re-Evaluate The Error
Here then is yet another new word, “innovage”, born of the marriage of “innovation” and “vintage”.
