    TED Talks

    anyone watch these? I've watched a half dozen today and am just floored by the ideas. My favourite so far has been Dawkin's 2002 speech and Thomas Barnett's 2005 speach on security and the evolution of international security (hilarious and informative).

    Here's the link:

    it's RA. they'd blow their load all over some stupid 20 minute loop of a snare if it had a quirky flange setting. - Tiddles

    Am I somewhere....in the corners of your mind....

    Yup, subscribed to its RSS feed for updates. Most of them are cool, some just go on forever.

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

      there is one i really dug that was about 4 in the morning. These are really cool. But I can't understand why they don't ever have new ones...though I did check them out on youtube.

          They do have new ones ... TED 08 is in session as we speak. Or probably over. I suspect they hold TED as a conference format, invite everyone as speakers, and subsequently release their talks as videos on the website every month or so. Been reading some live-blogging of TED 08.

              TED now has transcripts of their talks!

              Just read Jill Bolte Taylor's talk

              Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story of recovery and awareness -- of how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another. (Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 18:44.)

                ^ SHIT!

                i just sent this to a friend, and found out she was her professor at my alma mater @ IU. Apparently it took her 8 years to recover.
                you could put an Emfire release on for 2 minutes and you would be a sleep before it finishes - Chunky

                it's RA. they'd blow their load all over some stupid 20 minute loop of a snare if it had a quirky flange setting. - Tiddles

                  : that video is nuts. thanks for posting it. if you think ti's boring forward to 6 minutes in. that's....unbelievable. I wish there was a drug that emulated that stuff and was not harmful to the body....

                    Yup ... 8 years. Amazing. Sounds like an acid-out-of-body experience. She's very ... zen about it. I can't imagine experiencing that, and remaining calm / rational about it!
