The personal blog of a developer on the loose

Well.. I admire what certain people can do. Some are very music-friendly. Some, like me, are geeks. But when the two of your passions join, you can chive things like this:

I’m VERY exited about this… The first TEDx (x is for independent talks) in Buenos Aires is about to be materialized next April 8… And I got my ticket!! Finding one was a truly adventure. Just 1 in 6 or 7 pre-registered got his ticket.

But.. What is TED?

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.

And TEDx is…?

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.” The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level. At TEDx events, unique talks given by live speakers combine with TEDTalks videos to spark deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.

I left here some  of my favorites…
