The Daily Jurvetson

Many TEDsters have their own blogs, and one of the coolest is Steve Jurvetson's. Steve (pictured here test-driving Graham Hawkes' gorgeous Deep Flight Aviator)  is currently in China, and I followed a discussion on his 'BMW style' Chinese SUVs to this not-very-confidence-inspiring crash-test video. Perhaps Detroit still has a few years to run...

Check out Steve's pics and videos of his recent rocketry weekend... and what was, hands down, the most delightfully nerdy coverage of TED2005.
