good definition of an inventor

My good friend Steve Nipper passed on this quote and in the spirit of being a good sport, I think it is an apt definition of an inventor:

"When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command.  Very often, that individual is crazy."

-- Dave Barry

Speaking of inventors, Rethink(IP) has had an ongoing series of articles the past week written by Dr. Bill Meade, a former director of intellectual property for HP.  Bill’s posts have walked through his observations as to the six life stages of inventors and are probably a more accurate definition of an inventor than Dave Barry’s quote.

In any event, they are well worth the read.
