You know what chafes our bunions? When we go out on the town and we see materialistic youngsters in t-shirts emblazoned with designer brand names. The reason the brand name has any cachet in the first place is because it identifies a company that, in theory, makes finer-quality merchandise. The t-shirt isn’t finer-quality merchandise. It’s just a t-shirt. But it’s got this name on it, as if the wearer hopes you’ll think he or she has class, or something. That he or she appreciates the finer things. Upscale names. Luxury brands.
We always wonder why, if these t-shirt-wearers are so into luxury, they aren’t dressed in anything nicer than t-shirts.

June 19, 2009For those of you not familiar with TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design)….You need to be. It’s basically a conference involving some of the worlds most intelligent people, talking about what it is they do. I’ve been glued to this website for over a year now, and can’t get enough.
This recent program they’ve launched, is really exciting. TED has become such a phenomenon, that they are now branching out, and partnering with groups to help people facilitate their own TED-like events. They’ve dubbed this project, TEDx. I’m really excited to see what happens with this. Check out the website for more information on TED in general, and be sure to check out any of the incredible videos they have up.
