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.

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.

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

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