For TEDxTacoma, Adam talks about connectivity and technology, old and new. How starting your car is an interface experience: sounds, vibrations, and visual indicators all come together so you can push your foot down and go 60mph. Modern software seeks to become a part of your life like this, with interactions becoming second nature. There are also times to be disconnected; times to focus on what the five senses are telling you about the world around you. Some things can't be replaced by software. Whether a digital or analog version, a virtual experience can never replace being there in the moment.

Picture Adam Argyle as a human Swiss Army knife--trained and efficient across a wide array of technologies, languages, frameworks, and development approaches. Adam codes at work and at home, passionately gleaning and learning from the open source community. Specializing in development in the presentation tier, Adam draws from his past as a designer, creating games, sites, apps, and 3D worlds. He seeks to be pixel perfect in creation of UI and UX, because these things matter. He's also a gamer--an RPG head to be exact--spending his weekends exploring dungeons, slashing monsters, and saving the girl.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
