Day 6: A Walk in the Park

I skyped Dominik, my friend from a small box-like office two floors down, this morning and asked him if he was busy. He was about to head off to Wroclaw for a few days, but luckily he was still in his office. We bunked off work for five minutes to take a walking adventure around the park to chat about things, such as how by naming something you change its nature and hence block potential ideas. Call something a 'project', and it becomes a different beast than if you call it an 'investigation', 'research', or 'check'. it is easy to think that we can choose the name for what we want to do without it affecting the final result in a negative way, making it less than it could have been - a project and an investigation have different methods and goals - but what you really want is the best answers. Perhaps it is best not to give open processes any name at all.

It was a great little adventure, perfectly suited to our needs and desires of the moment - with some useful little concepts that we might not have formed had we remained at our respective desks. Viva les Adventurers, to mix languages ;)
