Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com.I set up this space to find old friends and meet new ones. In Girls Scouts we always sang that song "Make new friends but keep the old..." (You former Scouts out there know what song I'm talking about. You are probably singing it right now aren't you!) I have tried to live by those words as I moved all over the country and met so many different people. If you knew me once upon a time, drop me a line and we can catch up on old times. I also love meeting new people so if you would like to say Hello and chat message me.
