Day One of the TED Conference, and I couldn't be happier to see old friends and make new ones. Highlight of the day among the TED Talks was Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist who suffered a stroke, but recovered in such a vibrant and creative manner over an eight year period. The TED Blog does an excellent job summarizing her powerful talk here.
On a purely selfish note, I am using the power of technology, and User Generated Content such as my Flickr account, to seek my "bag twin". My TED2008 bag is pictured to the right, and if you're my "bag twin", I'd love for you to find me via the e-mail address available through this blog's "About Me" page. The photo does no justice to how cool these bags in fact are; the story of these bags - including this concept of "bag twins" - is featured here. Will be very curious to see if this experiment works ...

I'm drooling. DROOLING I tell you.
Especially with Venter being in the program. Ahh... to be you :)
I'm really excited to see Amy Tan's talk. She's such a fascinating person, in my opinion... Her story is so touching, her desire to be as american as apple pie in her youth turned her involvement with her chinese culture, just for the sake of her mom.. (or at least how it started)..
Love love love.
ENJOY IT!!!
ANd hope you find your bag twin!
