A TED talk I quite liked

After poking fun at TED's brand expansion in last night's entry, today I learned that a TED Talk I quite liked just went live.  If you have the 18 minutes to spare, I recommend this presentation by Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group.

In other news, I'm home!  I'm quite happy to be done with planes for a while.

Now, to unpack!

TED Talks and my hotel door

I love TED and always feel privileged to be able to attend it.  I've learned a great deal from and been inspired by many TED Talks.  I've applauded the way TED Curator Chris Anderson and his team have spread the TED brand.

Sometimes, though, I wonder if they might be reaching a bit far.

Yes, this is the Do Not Disturb sign that adorns my hotel room door as I write this.

To be fair, the hotel does make it easy to watch TED Talks, and I suppose this is a fair way to cram more content into previously under-utilized space.

Still, I can't help but chuckle each time I see this.
