TED Talks

[Kai]

Does anyone watch them? Ever since I saw Sir Ken Robinson do his talk on creativity in education I've realized what an awesome resource TED talks are.

One I just watched now: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/paula_scher_gets_serious.html

Paula Scher on Serious versus Solemn design and creativity.

I've seen a couple of them, but this is the only one I can specifically remember.

TED is pretty awesome. I usually feel intellectually enriched after most of them (but not all).

Well yeah, some of them are just bland.

That was fucking bizarre.

[Messier Undertree]

People keep linking me to things on that site, and then I'm all like "Oh, this is awesome, I'll come back here often" and then I forget about it. Every time.

It's in my bookmarks now though. Fuck you memory.

[Bruno]

Note to self: Watch this one.

That was fucking bizarre.

How so? Other than TMBG's usual bizarreness.

[Kai]

Yeah, There May Be Giants is just weird.

Thanks for the Leadbeater link. Good argument for open source and amateur collaboration.

I love TED Talks but always forgets that the site exists.  I think someone has linked to this one before, but it's worth linking to again:

Inventions. Cool ones. Dangerous too.

Best one. Srsly.

That was also the FIRST TED talk I ever saw.

[Cainad (dec.)]

My acting teacher sent us all the link to it, and mentioned it in class.


I have a sneaking suspicion that he may, in fact, be a mittens and win teacher.

I love this one, I linked it to a bunch of people when I first watched it.

My all time favorite TED talk though, is this one http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/paul_stamets_on_6_ways_mushrooms_can_save_the_world.html Woo!! Mushrooms Can Save The World!! I'm a sucker for weird.
