The symbolism of weaving
Earlier in my career, as a designer, in exploring the concept of weaving and the context of history, architecture, the letterform in palaeography, I found intriguing links. And I was always compelled to explore the symbolic connection in things. How does, for example,...
TED | d.log>4
The last day was that last tango with the minds of the wildly ranging talent that is TED. More adventures, more risk, more exposures. And it's all about that risk. Exploding the trust of what you are, what you can be. That might be a thread -- breaking the edge of...
Brand evolutions
Sometimes there's a sense that we look at a brand one way, and there's a potential for it to be tipped another way; and that can be a good thing. We need to be ready for that, mind full of tipping spaces that will transcend or evolve expression to a market. But I...

There's an unusual component to TED, driven by Chris Anderson's visioning, and Sapling Foundation's fueling of the ultimate goal of the event, and TEDs bigger planetary role. And what do I really know about it, being a TED virgin? Not much, but what I learned. I can,...
Two TED
There's a great deal coming out of TED -- the encounters, the explorations, the connections, the learnings. Incredible really. I don't think I've ever been to anything quite like it. But the mix is increasingly world focused, on the big world problems and what...
