Welcome to Bamboo

We promise not to tell you what or how to think.
Or bore you with a lot of corporate nonsense.
Rather, we'd like to invite you to just be yourself
and to invent, explore, create and imagine.

On this site you’ll find some things that we consider
interesting, inspiring or just amusing.

We hope you enjoy them.

We'll add some more when we can
and take away any old, tired or unpopular stuff.

And if you find something out there online or
offline that you think would be good to feature

here then give us a shout.

Whoever you are. Whatever you do. Be Bamboo.

Where good ideas come from
People often credit their ideas to individual "Eureka!" moments. But Steven Johnson shows how history tells a different story. His fascinating tour takes us from the "liquid networks" of London's coffee houses to Charles Darwin's long, slow hunch to today's high-velocity web.

Brainstorm image

I love the sound of rain on the outside of my tent.
Rain outside. Thoughts inside.
Like Da Vinci staring at shadows and mould on the wall, see the patterns and possibilities. And remember this was my holiday
