Education from everyday experiences.

Food for Thought.

TEDxDubai and TED.COM in general have provoked me to spend a lot of time thinking about how we communicate about the issues around us that we need to deal with now!

MORE Thoughts on TED 2009…

TED is all about ideas that might provoke change in the way we think, act/interact, and go about doing things. If you are unfamiliar with TED you must go and look [...]

TED2009 my final TED experience!

At 3:30pm yesterday on the 7th of February I was leaving, trying to make my way to the door of the arena at Long Beach to physically pull away from the TED experience. It is not that I wanted to leave, I didn’t/I don’t, but I must. I must leave because I need to take [...]
