Today, I'll just share two recent items, one sublime and one ridiculously funny: TED. Every year, some of the most creative minds in the world get together to attend the Technology, Entertainment, and Design conference . The speakers' challenge: "to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes)." More often than not, the talks spill beyond the three stated genres into education, world politics, and basically saving the world. The conference has a gigantic waiting list and a $6000 price tag, but videos of all the talks are available online. When you have 18 minutes, go watch Jane Goodall on what separates us f...
