#TEDMEDscribe Jill Sobule

Alphachimp loves the musical stylins of Jill Sobule. Whether musing about the death penalty, anorexia, or what it would be like if Edgar Allen Poe had taken Prozac, she delights and challenges in her sly, funny way.

Check out our electronic scribing of her presentations at #TEDMED so far, in addition to the other incredible speakers we've gotten to see. If you missed her, don't worry- she's peppered all over the schedule, so we'll be hearing lots more about how "Disease Don't Care!"

TEDx Nashville 2012 - Impact: Making a Difference

TEDx Nashville was back at TPAC for its third annual event.

This year's theme was Impact: Making a Difference. The amazing list of confirmed speakers will be sharing on everything from changing your brain without surgery to communicating with extraterrestrials, child literacy, and unlocking your creativity with paint. Southern Word, Nashville's crew of compelling high school spoken word poets, will be making an appearance, no doubt to bring the audience to their feet once more.

Alphachimp Studio's co-founder and creative director, Peter Durand, was working stage left to capture visual summaries of each exciting speaker. The event was once again emceed by Ross Scott, who did a fine job keeping pace and "keeping it real".

There were many special moments during the day, but a special one was created (literally and in real-time) during a first-tem collaboration by musician K.S. Rhoads and painter Rachel Kice.
