Finally, over two months later, TEDx has decided that despite a moderate amount of profanity from the Sweary Historian, including the word "cockwaffle," it was okay for them to publish my talk in Transylvania about the link between ADHD and creativity. About a minute into the talk you can tell that they changed the audio feed to my mic, because before that I sounded like shit. Unfortunately, it means you can no longer hear the audience, and there are a couple of times when it sounds like I am chuckling alone to my own jokes because you can't hear that the audience is also laughing and I'm laughing WITH them. I don't know what you think but I kind of cringed at that. Anyway, I was nervous as all shit so please be kind.
Also, if you’re in the Calgary area this Saturday, PLEASE come to my book signing at Owl’s Nest Books. Details:
Date: Saturday, February 4
Time: Noon to 2pm
Address: 815A - 49 Avenue SW, Calgary
And now the video, where in the screen grab I look like some kind of megachurch pastor preachin’ ‘bout Jesus ‘n shit.
I love TED talks, and I love your TED talk! Thank you for sharing. Now whenever I read your posts or your book and you write "cockwaffle" I will hear it in your voice!
Great job! Loved it. Congrats!
