Hacking Means Taking Things That Suck and Making Them Better

Remember this name-Umair Haque. Umair is the guy behind Bubblegeneration, a strategic advisory boutique and the man who coined the phrase 'edgeconomy'. This guy embodies punk. He also blogs for Harvard Business Review. His post yesterday "How to Hack the Industrial Economy" is inspirational. Part rallying cry to idealism (read: anti corpocracies) and radical innovation via downright subversion, this post is a great way to get a fresh perspective on any obstructions and stalemates that you might find yourself in. 

"Everything can be hacked. One of the most enduring aspects of hacking was that it was anti-authoritarian. It wasn't about software: rather, it was about rejecting an industrial era worldview of narrow, limited possibility-anything could be hacked, and often, with tremendous simplicity."
