My Night at TEDx Seattle

I recently had the pleasure of attending the first TED.com event in Seattle. It was a fun and engaging night in the Georgetown Ballroom. See all the TEDx Puget Sound 2009 Videos.

Above is a video of climber Ed Viesturs, one of the speakers for the evening. Notice in the video when he talks about marketing himself to pay for his climbing expeditions...there is a brief reference to MountainZone (my old company). We did projects with Ed and his team when we were pulling the zone together.

Check out the Flickr Photoset of pictures...you can see me lurking in the background eating all the orderves.

"TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize."
