My two eldest absolutely love cubs and beavers. I have no idea why. I accompanied them on a camp once and it was miserable.

It is definitely exactly the same thing that I used to do 25 years ago. Wilf and I were looking through a book that shows you all of the badges you can do and there’s a computer skills badge that just looks so out of place, probably one of the only new additions to the badges since I was there.

]]> Comment on In praise of the good enough by Tom Morgan http://matt.me63.com/2013/05/04/in-praise-of-the-good-enough/#comment-17014 Tue, 07 May 2013 12:01:56 +0000 http://matt.me63.com/?p=3056#comment-17014 Yes! My favourite contestants on Dragon’s Den are those ones who’ve seen a tiny pain point and ruthlessly solved it only to find the Dragon’s don’t see the need. You get Duncan Bannatyne saying something like “I’m sorry but if I want to chop carrots I’ll simply use a knife, I’m out”. You can see it in their eyes. They can’t quite believe that the Dragon’s don’t get it because they’ve invested so much of themselves into believing they were solving a real problem.

It might look like innovation and feel like innovation but somehow it’s not really innovation. ;-)
