shameless plug - giving a TEDx talk
 

Did a second dry run on my talk by phone this evening, have dress rehearsal next Saturday, then Sunday 15Sep is the day. Was honored to be asked by the organizers (who did the first TEDxUSC events some years back) who I met through some commercialization meetings at my day job. Conversations about the deeper meanings of some of my crackpot theories as well as being a busy musician...one thing led to another. I'm actually doing a combination talk/performance. It'll be telling a cautionary tale about digital technology and virtual humans, and for the performance part my vocalist and I will be doing an example of auto-tune, then closing the talk with a bass/vocal version of My Romance.

Should be available online after the event.

Very, Very cool Todd.

Very cool indeed todd! Good luck and we will be there with you in spirit, and waiting to see it online!

I'm so proud of you!

But will he admit to being a poopyhead moderator and hanging out with us lot is the real question? ;)

is TEDx the X-rated version of a TED talk?

siriusly, congrats!

Brilliant!

Just to add... excellent! I will watch the recording.

That's a big deal! Local boy makes good. Very proud of you Nostatic.

Thanks all. Certainly has been a long, strange trip to get wherever the hell it is I am right now.

And this place actually has been inspirational and instructional for my take on the "digital divide." So you all deserve some credit. Or blame.

No poop on any slides, but I do have a nuclear explosion, Bill Murray, and my wife's match.com profile from 7 years ago.

This is the coolest thing EVER!!!!! I wanna watch! Congrats, nostatic! Can't wait to see it!

Ooooooo, I am squealing from the excitement! :)

I've always enjoyed your creativity.

Looking forward to the presentation.

Awesome, I can't wait to watch - sounds interesting...

Break a leg (as they say in show business - no personal injury wished).

No dissertation on that 500C?
