Hello from illuminati summer camp! According to the TED conference organizers, “The Age of Amazement” (the conference’s theme) means turmeric lattes, level 5 autonomy, organic kale vapor, and tubes that measure the levels of fear in the air.
Overheard at TED:

Some dispatches of Amazement:

Startup everyone’s over: StitchFix, the startup creating office twinsies.
Reason to kill yourself now: We never needed the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth seasons of Jersey Shore, nor did we need Snooki & JWoww, The Pauly D Project, or Floribama Shore. Fame ruined the very particular magic of that first season:

Reason to go on living: Remember the fact that in Japan, Jersey Shore was called Macaroni Rascals. 💛💛💛MACARONI RASCALS!! 💛💛💛
