    Ted Talks

    Anyone else watch these?

    www.ted.com

    If you don't know about these, TED is the Technology Entertainment and Design conference held worldwide. Experts give talks in their respective fields, everything from scientific research and new inventions to political theory to how to wash your hands as efficiently as possible to how to make good bread.

    They are short and their are millions of them. When you see a good one post it here.

    I absolutely LOVE TED talks! There is one really cool three minute talk that got me to start a novel. I didn't do it like he said, but he did get me started. Will post links next week when I have time.
