Fun with constraints, knowledge, and design
by Jim McGee
Paula Thornton, my friend and co-blogger here at FASTforward, tweeted the following this morning
which reminded me of a little constrained exercise I did back in February. That exercise started with this tweet
and a blog post that generated some fun discussion.
What I didn’t do was publish the final list of C-words that were ultimately generated in the ensuing discussion. Again, the constraint was C-words relevant to conversations about knowledge. Here’s the list (including "constrain/constraint") that all of you created:
| Calculate Calibrate Canvas Capture Catalog Categorize Censor Certify Challenge Change Characterize Chart Check Cite Claim Classify Cluster Circulate Circumscribe Circumvent Coalesce |
Coax Co-create Codify Collaborate Collate Collect Collude Combine Comment Communicate Compare Compile Compose Compute Concatenate Conceal Conceive Conform Confide Connect Connote |
Consider Consolidate Constrict Consult Constrain Constraint Construct Contribute Converse Convert Convey Coordinate Copy Count Craft Cram Create Critique Crystallize Cultivate Curate Customize |
Capital Case/Case Study Cause Channel Characteristic Chart Collage Community Compendium Competence Component Concept Concern Construct Content Context Convention Conversation Culture |
Coherent Complete Concise Conditional Consistent Contingent Contradictory Convergent Cryptic Current Cursory |
