Ideas Worth Spreading

I apologize that my posts have been reduced to merely adding a link that I find interesting, but things are kicking into high gear. 23 days until my Obligations exam.
Anyway, it is worth your time to check out this website. It is a collection of hundreds of talks from the TED (Technology, entertainment, and Design) conference. http://www.ted.com/index.php/
I recommend the ones with Ueli Gegenschatz Michael Pollan and Saul Griffith
There are some really amazing ideas coming out of these talks. If we all peak around on it, we can make sure that we don't miss any of them.

TED is amazing. If you haven't checked this out because you think it's not worth your time, you're very mistaken. Most talks range between 15-30 minutes and you can find a discussion specific to your interest.
Two that you must check out:

1. On the internet, law, and society

2. On the education system

I loved the shoutout to JP-SOUS in that first video. That Sousa was ALSO the man.
