Bay Area residents remotely involved in the high-tech sector are undoubtedly familiar with TED. Short for "Technology, Entertainment, Design", the first conferences were about world-changing ideas in those 3 fields. To be invited to the TED conference was/is a big deal; I have never been invited, and yes I am bitter about it. Today, TED presentations cover a slightly wider array of topics, but I'm certainly not complaining after having watched Sam Martin's presentation on "Manspaces". 

There's nothing particularly revolutionary about the idea, but if you've ever built a manspace or mancave of your own, you'll be happy you're not alone. At just under 5 minutes in length, it's a quick respite from work and it may just manspire you to create a manspace of your own. 

In honor of the Manspace, On The Fly will gladly giveaway a $100 Gift Certificate to the site to the reader who sends us a photo of their manspace with them in it (a "proof of life" item like the day's newspaper is required for authenticity so no one is just Googling photos of other people's manspaces). We'll pick a winner by November 7th. 

You can watch the entire presentation here.
