Hi, I’m Karen Hochberg. I continue to be an avid fan of the TED Talks since they debuted. I attended the first TEDxCMU and look forward to helping to shape the 2010 event. I hope to bring my marketing skills to help our team grow the local TEDX event. I believe TED ideas are worth spreading. My goals this week is to make a list of marketing ideas we can dicuss at our first meeting. See you this Saturday.

Hey there everyone, my name’s Brian Rangell.  I was the stage manager of TEDxCMU 2010 and I’m incredibly excited this year to help make Carnegie Mellon University a forum for interdisciplinary thought.  As a theatre technician, I’m always looking for the intersect between the arts and technology.  Left brain and right brain, right?  I’ll finish my first post here with a video that illustrates to me the spirit of TED: it’s poignant, artistic, and intelligent.  Enjoy.

Hi everyone, Rahul Pandey here! This is my first year at Carnegie Mellon as a graduate student at Heinz. As a devout follower of TED Talks, I love the idea of shared learning, intellectual debate and, as Brian aptly puts it, of interdisciplinary thought. Needless to say, TEDxCMU was one of the first places I sought out when I joined CMU. I am excited to be a part of the incredibly dynamic TEDxCMU 2010 Team! Event Logistics is going to be my domain and having handled other events in the past, I am here to deliver my best and have fun! Looking forward to meeting the team this Saturday.
