On this week's episode of The Freenoter, we look at TED/TEDx talks - are they worth it for freenoters? What makes a great TED-style talk, and why they may or may not be right for you. We also look at one of the TEDxCambridge speakers Tamsen worked with, Andrew Lo, and what goes on behind the scenes during a TEDx event. And we debut an original-ish cocktail, the tequila-based Spectre.

And The Spectre:

2 1/4 oz. good tequila (we used Don Julio Blanco)3/4 oz. Cointreaupinch of table salt

Stir over ice in a cocktail mixer and strain into a coupe. Slice off a thick, coin-sized hunk of lime rind (catch a little lime flesh with it) and squeeze it over the drink. Remember not to be fooled by Le Chiffre's twitching eye.
