Bringing TED To The Masses
Conferences often resemble a living, breathing, talking gallery exhibit… with bad food; an expensive, explicit exhibit, which usually fails to inspire me (not as an artist’s juxtaposed take on light and mass might).
That being said, I’d pretty much do anything to make it to the TED conference; the annual gathering of the world’s top philosophers, technologists and intellectuals created by the father of information architecture, Richard Saul Wurman and now run by Chris Anderson.
Well, thanks to Ethan, we can now all sit in on the experience via his live-blogging of this year’s event.
You know, he’s bound to get more than a three minute spot in the future.

wow! I wonder if I can beg-borrow-steal-cajole-flirt-etc. my way into *this* conference next year. (I think I’ve used all my conference chits for this year).

It costs $4,400 to attend TED. Attendance is by invitation only.
so let’s innovate something smashing this year and hope for a 2008 invite. ;-)
