TEDActive speaker Sebastian Wernicke on TED.com!

Today, the first talk from TEDActive 2010 was posted to TED.com. It's a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek statistical analysis of TEDTalks by Sebastian Wernicke that brought the Showlounge to its feet and had us all crying with laughter!

Some of the comments on Sebastian's talk:

While this talk was certainly awesome, I was BLOWN AWAY by the energy in the TEDActive audience. No comparison to the Long Beach group. -- Jason Soll

Nothing better than a nerd with stage presence. I'm gonna build my dissertation defense with the tedPAD! -- Patrick Aderhold

I was going to call this fascinating, but he was wearing the wrong color shirt. -- Lessa Sundt Scherrer

Absolutely LOVE it! -- Ewa K'Staude

The lost photos of TEDActive 2010

After TEDActive 2010, there were certain photo sets that we simply could not find ... the memory cards they were on seemed to have disappeared! But this week, we managed to locate the missing cards and now we can share those lost memories. Here are some highlights of the TEDActive Grand Desert Party, the Farewell BBQ and other missed moments from the last day:
