I spent the morning sitting in the dark with a bunch of people. And I loved it. IT was the TEDxCLE event. Thanks to the crappy weather and school closings some tickets went unused, and I was able to go to the event. I was thrilled to hear so many great speakers and some of the cool things that they were doing. Be sure to subscribe to this blog as I will tell you all about the event in a series of posts over the next few days. As a teaser, did you know that until about the 1950′s Cleveland had the largest garment district in America, outside NYC? Did you know that there is a way to help charities get millions of extra dollars, all by writing a letter? Did you know you can buy a 3 wheeled electric vehicle that is made here in Ohio or that there is a plan to create electricity from the waves on Lake Erie?
Thanks to Susie Sharp for helping to find me a ticket and get me in! I am glad that I brought my laptop, as I was able to capture all the action. I did not, however, take my camera, so if you have pictures of the event that you would like to share (that means you Susie) send em to me and I can include them in my posts….

And I’m still wondering what TED is.
TED stand for Technology Entertainment and Design. It is a series of talks designed to share cool ideas with the aim of inspiring others to do coll things. TEDxCLE is an independent event that mirrors the California events. Read the posts this week to hear all about the speakers at this event. And follow the links to get to TED and see some videos from some of the events.
