TEDxUSC

So I attended my second TEDx event at USC and yet again came away astounded by the inspiring efforts of people from around the world who through collaboration are empowering humanity to transcend the boundaries that often separate one person from another. The underline feeling of every TED I have attended has been hope. In the sometimes dreary darkness of our world that often times clouds our focus we have these small beacons of hope, while many, can be difficult to find. TED events continually aggregate these lights in the cloud to the brilliance of star, imbuing us with an inspirational force compelling us to action.

If you have not attended a TEDx event, I implore you to open your heart and mind to possibilities that often times lie beyond our imagination and embrace a world that needs change and that you can be that change.

Below I have aggregate my tweets during the course of the TEDxUSC conference, all 93 typos and all are a stream of conscienceness brought on by the inspiring words and actions of the presenters. So ideas are theirs, some are summaries, and some are just avenues that my mind was compelled to chase.
