Why is it that car manufacturers don’t publish the optimal “road eating” speed for their vehicles? Having just driven over seven thousand kilometres up, down and across Europe, while keeping an eye on the fuel gauge of course, I have to say I am puzzled as to why it is difficult to obtain what I’m sure [...]

This is a long post. I thought I could break it up but then thought the better of it. If you are organising a TEDx event – or any other small conference with people speaking and presenting – this is for you, and I’m hoping it contains enough information to carry you to the end of [...] TED requires that TEDx hosts file a fairly detailed report following the close of each event – and a good thing, too, since TEDx is a work in progress and everyone is learning from everyone else.

In the US that marriage has just gone into an even tighter embrace, with the US Supreme Court opening the door to unlimited campaign contributions by corporate interests.

Life follows art and art is taking this author on a trip beyond the boundaries of what most creative professionals tend to concentrate their efforts on. Hang on tight, this is likely to be [...] Head to tedxwarsaw.com. We’ll be posting information as it comes to hand and registrations for the event will open later this year. If you’re a TED fan you will know how much raw excitement is packed into those three letters. If you’re not a TED fan, you will become one once you have done a bit [...] |
