Quick note to the TED Community at large:

There's a huge sense of anticipation in Monterey and Aspen as TED2008 opens today. With 50 main speakers and another 50 
shorter talks and performances, there's a real feast in store.  For those of you who can't be here, here's how you can 
enjoy TED from afar.

First and foremost, we are opening up one complete session of TED free to the world, streamed live over the web. It's 
the dramatic session tomorrow evening when three remarkable individuals each unveil their TED Prize wish. ("One wish to 
change the world. No restrictions. Think big. Be creative.")

I invite you to join a global audience as Dave

this special moment. Many thanks to our partners Adobe for making this webcast possible.
