TEDxNYED used more than $100,000 of equipment (most of which we rented for ~$9,000) to record/broadcast live in HD. We are currently editing the videos which will be placed on TEDx's YouTube channel. @mjmontagne asked me via Twitter if we would share our AV setup, so I fired up Inspiration and made a quick visual. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
p.s. don't you love the cheesy clipart? I was clearly feeling inspired :)
Yeah, just checking up on @lessig 's slides, no big deal. Actually, I was more staring in awe as he asked me to get his laptop connected to the projector. The full photo is here:
Yesterday was the TEDxNYED conference. It was an incredible day filled with brilliant educators and equally brilliant speakers. We broadcast it live over the Internet and Livestream (our sponsor) reported to me today that we had over 20,000 views. I can barely comprehend that. Today, while I'm still fresh with memories, I want to try and reflect and deconstruct my experiences yesterday, and my experiences with TEDxNYED overall. In particular I hope to go back to my own tweets, go back some of the 2,871 tweets posted about #tedxnyed yesterday, to the Flickr stream, and to the blogosphere discussing TEDxNYED.
Some of my main goals for the reflection include:
All this, after a perfect whole wheat everything bagel from Bergen Bagels, the best bagles in the world.

Livestream has covered a whole slew of TEDx events including Waterloo, Austin, NASA and more. They're willing to custom build a player and Facebook app for us, but I need to discuss it with the TEDxNYED team first. Looking forward to it. Thanks Livestream for the great offer! We'll be back to you soon.
TEDxNYED is looking for music to play between speakers, during the day around the hall, and well, whenever we need it. Embracing free culture, and being sure not to violate copyright, we're looking for musicians or bands that would love to have their music played during our future-thinking conference. Mostly we'll use the music between speakers, but some of it may pipe out over our live stream and may make it into our videos which will be featured on TEDx's YouTube channel, and might even make it to the big show at TED.com.
Do you want to freely license us your music? Do you know someone who does? However it might work, put them in touch with me, leave a comment here, Twitter me, e-mail me at: arvind AT tedxnyed.com - just reach out.
Looking forward to seeing what the network comes back with.
p.s. we're an independently organized TED event.
