In general, do you find that your ideas come first, and then you figure out the tools to realize them, or do your ideas come out of the capabilities of your tools?
oh and i don't think one way is better than another.. though i do think it's really nice when the ideas just come to you and then you solve how to make them happen.. it makes me feel less floundering somehow. more like i have a direction. but even still, they often change once you actually start.
