  Mar 16 2013: Bob,
  
  I found this to be incredibly emotional and moving. Thank you for sharing. What a hard decision to make it must have been..

  Mar 16 2013: I think that what you say is true, Rand, but you limited the parameters of the question quite a bit by throwing in words like 'everyday basis' and 'pledged, vowed, and promised to be on their side'.. the original did not imply any sort of established relationship.

  Thanks for your awesome input! I really like both 1 and 2. I will definitely delve into both and see what I can come up with.
  
  I haven't met you yet! Are these TEDxTokyo meetings frequent? I would love to show up sometime and acquire some knowledge/insight/inspiration if possible.

  Dec 30 2012: ''I think a good way to start would be writing all the topics on a piece of paper. Should then rank these topics by popular vote. What is the most popular subject in the group? Any good event should have a climax at some point. It would probably be beneficial to build up to an event or certain speaker and then wind down from there.''
  
  Fantastic idea. I think this is an interesting approach. Thanks!

  Dec 30 2012: That sounds great! I love your idea about elderly care robotics. Robotics in Fukushima is also a hot topic right now.

  Dec 30 2012: Thanks Ken. I completely agree. I've found that a lot/most/all of our talks from last year aren't subtitled on youtube. I'll be sure to change that for this year.
