I love Dave Portnoy and his blog.
I think some posters fail to understand his humor.

But how does one manage being both creative and mitigating risk to a reasonable level? Jumping on to every idea seems like a good way to destroy your long-term effectiveness.

I guess she always does that, or I often write about my thoughts on her latest posts, so I could help you to be posted. :)

Sorry Penelope, I can't say that I agree with you about "Barstool Sports". I agree this guy is sharp and I am certainly not anti-smut, but a lot of his comment is just too in your face for my liking. What gets to me most though is the ugliness of his site – this sort of site makes my head spin as soon as I arrive. Being a designer, aesthetics colour my view of most things in life. Let me tell you Penelope, you leave this guy standing, I have only recently discovered you but you are already one of my faves. Your writing style is an inspiration and the style of your blog is crisp and well thought out – I approve big time!
But hey, it's true what they say – "the world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same things".
Keep up the great work that you are doing here.

Hi Penelope,

I love how you make transition from a single thought to another and still put them well together. I really love how your descriptive thoughts.

Trade environments. Going somewhere else to generate ideas—the park, a toy store or even someone else's conference room—will stimulate fresh thinking.

[...] How To Be Creative At Work by Penelope Trunk: She kind of lost me in the middle with all the high brow vs low brow commentary, but the last paragraph sums up the trouble that I think I have finding work in organizations and how I feel today about the work I’m not allowed to do at work. Sometimes our pre-conceived idea of what is acceptable or what we need causes us to miss out on the gems that are amazing but don’t quite fit what we’re looking for. [...]
