TED

The TED conference brings together fascinating people at the tops of their fields, and asks them to give the best talk of their lives, in 18 minutes. The original three themes of the conference were Technology, Entertainment, and Design, but the range has expanded to include deep-sea biology, poverty, history, and happiness. The talks are all online now, and they are fabulous 20-minute packets of pure inspiration. Check them out here.

We've been watching them one or two at a time (they really blow your hair back and I haven't been able to watch more than two in a row), bouncing from topic to topic. wheee
