The proof is in the pudding, but the inspiration is in the concept
I have always had a love of conceptual thinking, whether it be dreaming up a simple device to solve an obvious problem, or creating temporary self contained realities - just to prove a point. Despite all my deliberation and invention of rather silly objects however, I have - sadly - yet to see any of them realised in the real world. This is probably exactly the reason why coding appeals to me, purely because the step between concept and creation is relatively small - although don't tell anyone here that I said that ;)
Despite what might sound like the start of a rather depressing post, I can assure you that this is anything but. All because I find it extremely inspiring and uplifting to see other people who have managed to do what I have not... to release their creations on an unsuspecting world!
So with my ramblings aside I thought I'd put up just a few of the 'smile inducing' concepts that I have seen over the past year :)
