creativity

Creativity is the mental process of coming up with new ideas. It can result in art, language, technology, social progress, or any of an infinite number of outcomes. The only way to define creativity is to say that it is indefinable.

The blogosphere is a continual resource for creative works. Everywhere you turn, you'll find ideas relating to DIY technology, photography, illustration, crafts, design, slang, memes, even productivity. Anything you can think of — and probably lots of things you can't — can be found on the web, where the only challenge to creativity is figuring out how to post new ideas to your blog.
