To Boldly Go – TEDxKyoto x George Takei & Patrick Linehan

June 4, 2014 By Michael Lambe 2 Comments

Once again I have to congratulate Jay Klaphake and his TEDxKyoto team of volunteers for organizing a splendid event at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies today! It was a delight to see Patrick Linehan speak here again, this time on the effect his last speech at TEDxKyoto has had on his life and also on the lives of others. In September he told us to embrace the qualities … [Read more...]

A Special Appeal on Behalf of Weird Crime Theater

March 16, 2014 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

This has nothing to do with Kyoto, but for my erstwhile-brother-in-rock I'm happy to break the normal rules. This is my old friend Kumar Sivasubramanian: Once upon a time, we were in a band together.

Now that the videos are up I'm going to post my favorite talks from this year's TEDx Kyoto event. First though a word about the event as a whole.

September 25, 2012 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

Two days before TEDxKyoto I attended an informal gathering at Robert Yellin's gallery, to listen to his father, Jerry, talk about his experiences both in war and peace. Jerry, now in his late eighties, was a P51-Mustang fighter pilot in World War II, so this was a rare opportunity to connect with someone from that era, and frankly his story affected me far more than anything I … [Read more...]

Congratulations to Jay Klaphake and his team for successfully organizing the very first TEDxKyoto last Sunday! I attended this event with a good deal of curiosity.

Naturally, there … [Read more...]
