TED Buzz Begins

Next week, I'll be attending my 8th TED Conference. It's always one of the highlights of my year. This year's speaker lineup is fantastic and that's before experiencing the annual surprise at the powerful work being done by people I've never heard of.

Mike Arrington gets the buzz off to an early start this morning, speculating that Microsoft will launch its WorldWide Telescope software at the conference. TED has always been a cool venue in which to unveil great new stuff and now innovators are beginning to signal their intentions beforehand. Can't wait to see what else Chris Anderson and the TED crew have put together for this year's event, the final TED to be held in Monterey. Next year: Long Beach!
