TED ain’t doing Cape Town, South Africa this year

Its sad news, my fellow geeks. Sad indeed! This morning I checked my inbox after a fabulous weekend and BAM! the news hit me. TED (short for Technology, Entertainment, Design) has released a blog post on Friday:

Sad, sad news. I’ve been waiting anxiously to hear from them if I’ll be accepted to attend the conference or not, so now I can stop waiting. At least, now I must start waiting again to see when the next one will be!
