TED Tuesday 6/27

Sorry for the absence. As many of you know I am in the midst of transitioning jobs and cities back to Seattle. More on that to come. This is the last TED Tuesday I will do in Detroit. I have missed blogging about the last two since TED Global, mainly because of the upheaval that commenced upon my return. Another thing I haven't been able to do is blog about day four of TED Global. It was a great experience my friends and frankly all my attempts to sum it up seem like purple prose, and I will not subject you to that.

Anywhoo, this week we watched Bill Stone's inspiring and stunning presentation from this year. I think everyone was pretty shocked by his announcement at the end of his talk. The interesting thing to me is that in the last twenty years or so, we have lost sight of what a true explorer is and I think that has an important impact on our world view. Bill reminded us that exploration is going where none have gone rather than where few have gone and in relation to his last announcement, doing what none have done and few would dare. If Bill is able to do this (you'll have to watch the video to find out what the announcement is), he might just inspire the world in the way all great explorers have inspired the world in the past.
