Erik Slader recently received an invitation to submit a speech for the popular TEDx series of lectures. He came to the attention of the organizers thanks to the success of his popular “Epik Fails” blog at http://epikfails.com.
Epik Fails provides a sardonic view of history with a view to allowing us to learn from other peoples’ mistakes. If we happen to find some of those mistakes to be funny, that is an added benefit.
Part of the submission process involves a video recording of a live presentation of his talk. Erik has scheduled his run-through for June 21.
