Quick LA trip report:

-W in Westwood: great 3 room suite for families, great location, still feels cool though service frayed.

-afternoon in Malibu: beach, shopping at ‘future of retail’ mall called Malibu Country Mart, and dinner at Nobu Malibu

-Getty: always worth the 2-3 hours - had forgotten just how incredible architecture and garden design are.

-Montage at Laguna: location and great attention to kids (smart), Ok design.

-12 rush hour, every drive is 60 mins

“On a range of issues, from climate change to health care, skepticism is growing in Washington that Congress will pass any major legislation in a contentious election year in which Republicans are expected to gain seats. For companies, the shifting winds have reduced pressure to find common ground, leading them to pursue their own, sometimes conflicting interests.”

“As debt rises, so do interest costs; by 2014, at a projected $516 billion, they will exceed the budget for annual appropriations for domestic programs. The government will be competing with the private sector for credit, forcing interest rates higher and imperiling future prosperity.”

“Using a complex analysis, Dr. Stevenson showed that increasing girls’ sports participation had a direct effect on women’s education and employment. She found that the changes set in motion by Title IX explained about 20 percent of the increase in women’s education and about 40 percent of the rise in employment for 25-to-34-year-old women.”

Notes from TED, 2 days later

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:45:00 -0800

in NYC and some perspective from my days at TED 2010:

-Chris’s tweet about the ‘god awful’ Sarah Silverman (since deleted) made it all real for me: honest, personal, transparent and somewhat re-considered = digital life today.

-Bill Gates: we have 25 years re: climate change and it’s time to get the energy options cooking, so to speak (get used to nuclear)

-and meanwhile, quick plug for Kohlberg Ventures portfolio company (and Halogen client, and TED sponsor), ClearEdge Power. We need to get to the ultimate renewable future and Jim’s company can help us get us there.

-chefs (from a wanna be chef) know that: food kills u, or not. Watch Jamie.

-Peter Gabriel stopped by our dinner one night, and it was 2 days later while on treadmill watching Sundance Channel that I remembered he wrote and sang “Biko” and founded the Elders with Richard Branson and others (including Jeff Skoll, one of the original backers of Cindy’s first non-profit).

-Sergey gave me a free phone, I gave it to my daughter, and she didn’t really want it - Steve, you keep ruling.

-that crazy, ebullient cartoonist “kid” from India reminded me that, as a parent, nurturing wonderful talent is hard and maybe the greatest accomplishment of all time.

“What did appear clear was that Germany, with an assist from France, would have to take the lead. “The Germans are the only ones with deep pockets,” said Daniel Gros, director of the Center for European Policy Studies in Brussels. “If it was just Greece, they could consider letting them go down the drain, but it threatens the entire euro zone.””
