TED Talks

Okay first you need to go listen to/watch this.

Then you should download this which is the audio version and has more music.

Then you need to subscribe to TED Talks. What is it?

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

I’m pretty sure I have Sid to thank for the heads up on their podcast/vidcast. I am just now getting hooked though. You’re welcome.

    Yes, I think I did bring TED to your attention. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. There’s some amazing stuff on there.

    I remember this musical performance well. It stuck out in memory as pretty amazing. Thanks for exposing me to it once again.

    My favorite TED music performance was a really short piece called “Blue Room” by Ethel. Don’t miss that one!
