I never looked forward to any music video as much as this new OK Go’s video. I have heard about the crazy contraptions that they had to build for this “Rube Goldberg” insanity, through a TEDster who went to BILL. (If you don’t know what BILL is, think of it as TED’s nemesis.) This video is amazingly brilliant and it comes with a few conversations and interviews from Mindshare and Syyn who helped create these videos.
Here are the interviews, conversations and the crazy minds who envision this crazy event.
It was an honor to be at TEDxSingapore when I was back in Singapore for the first time since getting the TED Fellowship in 2010. It was a tremendous atmosphere and was great to present my work in design to an audience of over 200 people. I was introduced as the first Singaporean Fellow and was giving a lot of attention the entire day, which I was not very used to. I did meet a bunch of really cool people at the event, and several collaboration opportunities arose and I am excited to see where these projects might go.
The speakers that spoke at the event were great too, from harnessing the consumers’ spending to get corporate companies to donate part of their earnings to better the world; to talking about the different TED conferences around the world; to a presentation given to highlight the worst of powerpoint presentations; to using social media in the right way; TEDxSingapore was a great platform to spread ideas in Singapore that many are not exposed to in the traditional media.

I am currently in Sydney and will be traveling to Brisbane.
If you haven’t seen my video on Nokia’s Responsive Campaign website, it is here now on YouTube. It is about my bike trip across the country raising money and awareness for affordable housing. Check out the YouTube page

A little ice breaker, getting people to come to stage to tell their little secret in front of the TED audience. An 8 year old came on stage and said, “My Teachers doesn’t know that TED is a hundred times better than school”
