Yesterday was the first time I attended TEDxNY, currently being hosted here at Grey Group's NY HQ. My first time, and frankly at first I was thinking it was more TEDxBizarre, but I got the hang of it. It's hosted by Grey's own Don McKinney (attendee at several TEDs, apparently) and brings in people (from Grey too, but mostly other very interesting people who don't work for any of the Grey agencies) to hear speakers (apparently often online from TED.com) and then use the remaining 40 minutes of the hour to discuss the topic
We watched the following TED talk from last year, Dan Barber from Blue Hill talking about sustainable fishing practices and the implications for how we eat . There's an interesting thought in there that goes beyond and implies the positive impact of sustainable practice on how we live as well.
More enjoyment, please.
