One of my favorite Web sites is Ted.com (Technology • Entertainment • Design = TED) where some of the world's greatest thinkers and doers present their stories and ideas. TED is embarking on a new experiment and hopes that someone like you, dear reader, may help them.
Here's how: First become acquainted with TED. New programs are available on a regular basis on this Web site. I first became acquainted with TED through a link at ExposeKenosha.com which directed me to a marvelous talk by symphony conductor Benjamin Zander . I later read his book, The Art of Possibility, which he co-authored with his wife, Rosamund, and am currently immersed in Mahler's 9th Symphony, conducted by Zander. Zander is one of many creative thinkers who populate TED to share their wisdom and humor with you.
Next, consider holding a salon or book club around TED content. You could hold this activity in your home, at dinner parties, brown bag luncheons, or at the Kenosha Media Center, where you could screen TED videos on the Center's giant screen. You could invite your friends and fellow Kenoshans to join you. Your friends at Kenosha Community Media could help you put this type of activity together. Anyone interested?
