Do you know any 6th, 7th or 8th graders who would be interested in a TEDx experience designed just for them? TEDxSMU is producing the 2nd annual TEDxKIDS conference on Friday, October 15 for middle school students, and applications to attend are only open through September 17. TEDx kids are leaders, artists, creators, innovators, inventors. They are excited about science and technology or getting involved in their community. They are inquisitive and respond to nontraditional teaching methods. All are open to new ideas and respectful of others. We hope inquisitive, engaged students from all over the Metroplex will join us for an afternoon of inspiring speakers, energetic discussions, and eye-opening demos. TEDxKIDS @SMU

Digital Rewards: There’s an App for That
June 23rd, 2010 § 0
One of the things I love about traveling is catching up on the randomness of the world through in-flight magazines. At this very moment I’m sitting on a flight to NOLA (!) and reading the June issue of Southwest Airlines Spirit. As expected in the Business Pitch section I discovered one of those “I wish I had thought of this” smartness that is so simple, yet I’m sure will become a fav. Key Ring Rewards Cards is a free app that scans a digital copy of your rewards cards using a barcode reader. “When you shop, just pull up the card and let the cashier scan the screen (works on iPhone & Android). You can access more than 700 rewards programs and coupons from retailers like Borders, CVS, and Best Buy, while adding local businesses with the customize tool.” Not only is this a great idea, but it was developed by Ross Bates and Chris Fagan who is co-founder of Dallas-based Mobestream Media. This of course means automatic cool points!

June 22nd, 2010 § 0
According to the latest Census Bureau numbers, released today, Dallas-Fort Worth was the fastest-growing metro area in the whole of the USA in the past decade. We added 1.3 million people, up 25 percent over the year 2000. We’re still No. 4 in terms of metro size, with a good bit to go before we could catch Chicago at No. 3 (with about 9.6 million to our 6.5 million).
And please don’t read too much into my joke of a headline. I’ve got no problem with someone who chooses to buy a much bigger house way out in Frisco, even if they work in downtown Dallas and transform themselves into road-raging maniacs because of the 2 to 3 hours they have to spend on the road commuting each day. It’s not my own choice, but I know just how much value some people place on a good-sized yard, better schools for the kids, and a monster-sized family room. To each his own.
