TED recap.

So TED was unbelievable.

That's all I have to say.

OK, no it's not. I have a TON to say. It was so great.

A couple of the highlights, for me :

- Marty Avery's tale of a recent near death experience and how we need to make a point to connect with other souls. Holy. So moving and really made sense to me. I will say that her belt was near-blinding under the lights, but it was worth it.

- Paul Saltzman... Hung out with the Beatles in India and photo-documented their Ashram experience. Has just released a documentary that he made with Morgan Freeman about Charleston... And the fact that they still have 2 proms... One for white kids, one for black kids. He spoke a lot about Humility and understanding you're part of a BIG universe.

Those were my two personal highlights. I also found the topic of Restoration Ecology by Madhur Anand really fascinating and Terry O'reilly is always a thought-provoking speaker.

Quantum Computing made my brain explode, Prosthetic legs are cooler and hotter than real legs and Reaction and Creation have the same letters in them. Whoa.

Amazing event, few technical glitches but come on!
Free event with 350 people, great technology donated, a huge venue, free snacks and top knotch speakers? I can wait for 30 mins for all that.

TED team - thank you. You surpassed all expectations and put on a life altering event. Congrats!

Now. I need a drink.
