THURSDAY MORNING EDIT: We had to vacate the MCPL Auditorium because the Internet stalled. We’re now across the street at the offices of Career Investments — 403 E. 6th St., Suite 200. We’re watching on my laptop, but it’s still streaming, which is an improvement over the MCPL today!

Just like we did in early March, we have the opportunity to watch a day of the TED conference while sitting comfortably in the auditorium of the Monroe County Public Library, right here in Bloomington. This time, it’s TED Global, The Stuff of Life, happening this week in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Because of the five hour time difference between Edinburgh and Bloomington, we’ll be time-shifting (i.e., not literally livestreaming, but streaming with a time delay). Instead of having people arise to watch the show starting at 4:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday (and trying to find a venue open at that hour!), we’ll capture video from all the speakers Wednesday and show them at the MCPL Auditorium starting at 9:15.m. local time Thursday, July 14.

This event is free, and you’re welcome to come and go as you like. We ask that you complete a short registration form at this link so we can have an idea how many people to expect at what times, please.

Check out the speaker lineup:

THURSDAY, July 14, 2011

9:15 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.  Future Billions

11:30  – 1:15 p.m.  Emerging Order

2:15 – 4:00  The Dark Side

5:30 – 6:45  Bodies

We know this is short notice, but we hope you can stop by for part or all of the show! As always, TED attracts amazing presenters and performers of all sorts!
