Geek Chic: Art Meets Technology At TEDx

It is easy to be a cynic. It is easy to say, the hell with it, and give up. But nothing really interesting ever gets done that way. And certainly part of what I love about TED -- and Mindshare and other events like it -- is that it celebrates perseverance. Some people don't get that. Was it cheesy as hell when Melissa Etheridge joined Muslim rock star Salman Ahmad, singing ring the bells of change, and everone was literally ringing these little bells? Hell, yeah it was. But when you back it up with an organizational behavior case study on building the Large Hadron Collider or a talk by a guy restoring sight to the blind, well, you know what?

The Ethics Of Innovation

I grew up in Detroit, but I've got no love for American automakers. I think bailing them out is a waste of money. I want them to die and for Detroit to move on and find an industry who treats them better.

Why do I hate them? Because they don't innovate.
