I had a great time at this conference -- really inspiring! Here's more about it: 

"If you've not heard of The Thinking Digital Conference, it's an annual gathering of creatives, innovators, businesspeople, entrepreneurs and techies. Each May, nearly 700 Thinkers gather over 3 days to explore and celebrate the ideas and innovations that are changing our world."

I'm nearly certain that the dictionary definitions here come from the OS X version of the New Oxford American Dictionary. (The bad spacings in the cross-references give it away.)
