Ideas worth spreading . . .

Some of you may be familiar with the TED talks, a series of short (less than twenty minutes) talks on anything and everything. They are taped in a live audience setting, and every one I've watched has been way beyond great.

I thought perhaps we could use this space to share our favorites with each other.

My most recent find (Thanks, HuffPost) is Ken Robinson talking about how our education system kills creativity in our children. He is both profound and hilariously funny in his observations. Check it out--it's very much worth eighteen minutes of your life.

I knew a guy named Ted. He was nice but a real dweeb. Weighed 90lbs soaking wet. A girlfriend told me he was hung like bear though. I think she was just saying that to justify her fucking him.

I thought this was going to be about that movie with Marky Mark. The tv is driving me nuts with ads for the DVD, but I don't have a DVD player, so that just makes the ads more annoying.


As an aside... I watched a movie last night John Conner? About a cowboy that got transported to Mars and fell in love with the local hottie... based on The Princess of Mars by Burroughs... I think. Some ass-hat can correct me if I'm mistaken. I liked it, but it was about 3 am and I had just finished a little pot. Medicinal purposes only, of course. I'm no doper.

I suppose I should have been more specific in the title

Or maybe I just expect too much literacy from the GB

It's all good

I love the TED talks. Some of them are silly, but most of them are inspiring. I subscribe to them in podcast.

I liked this one a lot: "The Danger of a Single Story" by Chimamanda Adichie
