TED 2010 is happening now! Feb. 9th-13th, Long Beach, California. TED brings together the world’s most fascinating speakers to share with us their great ideas, inspirations and opinions. If you can’t make it to the TED conference (like me), don’t worry because all of the talks are eventually posted on the TED website for everyone to view. I am most excited to hear from Jamie Oliver, Marian Bantjes, Dan Barber, Stewart Brand, David Byrne, James Cameron, David Rockwell, Christopher “moot” Poole, Jane McGonigal, Sarah Silverman. Plus there are always a few others that will also stimulate and capture my attention.
I had the song ’My Turn’ by Basement Jaxx in my music rotation over the past year and for some reason I have only just seen the video today. Good tune and even better video.
Music here and now! Labellife is happy to present you all with the first installment of our mixcast series. Each mixcast will feature music we are currently listening to or just something we are feeling at the moment and want to share with you.
