New York to Long Beach. Immediately my thoughts are drawn to delays, queues, jet lag, and wishing that seat selection was this fun. Some would view this as a necessary burden in order to go to something as awesome as TED 2011 - The Rediscovery of Wonder. Frankly, I would be inclined to agree since the people who attend TED talks are often just as interesting as the subjects being discussed. Simulcast is great, but being there would be neurally hair-raising. Well, just like most TED talks, prepare to combine a mindblowing concept with this brainmelting one. TED teamed up with Syfy and decided that they wanted the people watching the simulcast in New York to mingle with the crowd down in Long Beach, and that's where we came in. Anybots sent one robot to each venue and, during the break, attendees did exactly that. With one click they were instantly thrust into a crowd on the complete other side of the country, free to mingle and explore as they pleased. Other highlights from the trip are of QB trying to flirt with one of the Syfy "Y"s, the NY venue itself (which was exquisitely designed), and of course being able to party to the rhythm of Rana Sobhany, better known as the first "IPad DJ".
