Have you gotten the "Who is TED?" question yet?

I apologizing for down voting you, it was a knee jerk reaction stemming from my brain trying to leave via my left nostril.

It was a joke. I've started (TEDxCMU) and also advised a few TEDx events, and its funny how there's always someone who asks that question.
