Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

A refined thought on Great Artists Steal

A gentleman named Jeff Veen giving a talk at an Ignite show about the idea of "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." He focuses a little on the iPhone with points I think are valid, but that's just an example for the underlying idea and its refinement. I love the way he describes it.

To me, the the way he talks about stealing is more about learning from someone/something and then using what you learn to create something new for the world. What a great take on things.
