TEDxNewYork 09/10/10 Robert Thurman (2009)

So, we had an interesting gathering this past week as a/v issues took the "technology" out of Technology Entertainment Design, so we were all forced to... talk to each other. O heavens forfend! No, wait, we do that every week...

So we talked before the talk instead of talking after the talk which was fun though the conversation structure was very different. Plus, we talked more after too.

I'm putting the request out here for anyone who had something they wanted to share from that (a website, a book, an idea) to post it in the comments here. There were a lot of ideas worth repeating.

Then, we watched this:

Bonus TED Activity on Thursday evening

TEDxNY is on for this coming week, Friday, 1-2pm.

ADDITIONALLY there's this, with our fellow TEDsters of NYC...

THE 9-9-10 TED-FLAVORED MEET-UP:

Announcing an unofficial and improvised TED-flavored meet-up on the new public Lincoln Center Lawn on Thursday, September 9. The meet-up starts about an hour before sunset and goes until they kick everybody off. Come join us for friends, fun and back-to-school sympathy. Please consider bringing at least two of the following: a little drink, a little food (maybe apples and honey for a sweet Rosh Hashanah?), a musical instrument, a spouse, a lover, a pal, a stranger, your kids, your folks, your posse, not your doggy (sorry!), a TED Talks fan, an activity, a talent and a beach towel and/or picnic blanket worth spreading.

This message is being sent out to New Yorker buddies old and new from among TED, TEDActive, TEDxEast, TEDxGotham, TEDxBrooklyn, TEDED, JED and anyone else we can think of. If you feel like we've missed somebody, absolutely pass it along. TED virgins and walk-ins encouraged. Please feel free to tweet this notice, post it, blog it or link to it here. No RSVP, no questions, no nuthin'--just come if you can, when you can. If it rains...that SUCKS.

--Amy (TED Prize Director), Kelly & Rives (TEDActive co-hosts)

no TEDxNewYork on the 3rd, yes on the 10th

Hello all,

As it turns out, we won't be having a TEDxNY this coming Friday, but we'll be back on the 10th. In the mean time, YOU have a great long holiday weekend, okay? See you soon (but not as soon as we'd like)!

Updates... yes, we're still on, yes, our website needs some work...

Sorry for the lag. We're trying to improve. We do improve on a weekly basis in a very REAL way. In this virtual world... we're a bit behind. But we've got some help now and what was that line...? "I get by with a little help from my friends..."

Thanks for your patience!
