Strategic acquisitions
posted by John Davies at 11:06 AM
 Looking for new, or creative ways of thinking about things I sometimes turn to the pulsating brain of Brian Eno. Fiddling about on his website yesterday I was reminded that once he and Peter Schmidt produced a set of cards called Oblique Strategies. Each card carries a suggestion of a course of action or thinking to assist in creative situations. So I have made a strategic acquisition. Rather than a box of cards I have downloaded a desktop version. In future, whenever I'm in need of a bit of inspiration or a tangental suggestion one click offers me a line of on-screen advice, such as (three random selections):
Take away the elements in order of apparent non-importance.
What wouldn't you do?
Look at the order in which you do things.
