Next week Biz, Goldman and I are heading down to Monterey for TED, to represent the B. I'm really excited — it'll be my first time attending, and I hear the schwag bag is fully stocked. It's a shame their whole site is in Flash, else I'd link to the awesome Speaker list and schedule.
If you'll be there, look for the big orange B and say Hi.
