TED and Vulnerability

Bob — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:53:02 +0000

Ann suggested I watch this TED talk many months ago. I finally watched it this morning. Definitely a good one that made me think long about many things. Definitely struck home more than once. I haven’t watched TED talks in a long while, although it is definitely one of my favorite pastimes.

Pretty crazy

I ran into this talk awhile ago. One of those talks that makes you wonder a bit … It at least makes me wonder.

Pangea Day Approaches

Pangea Day, the international day of film, begins tomorrow (20:00 in Germany, 10:00 in Alaska). Inspired by Jehane Noujaim, winner of the 2006 TED prize, the idea of Pangea Day is to begin the world togetheer through film. 24 short films in 4 hours. I have read, watched, and heard much about this event now. There are a number of ways to watch – TV, public events, private events, streamed through the internet.

I think this is going to be pretty amazing. I am very much looking forward to it. If you have nothing else going on (or even if you do), I think this would be a very inspiring and worthwhile way to spend part of your day.

Talking of Passion

I recently read the book Zorro by Isabel Allende. An amazing and fun book. Below is the talk she gave at the 2007 TED conference on the topic of passion. Her talk speaks for itself – well worth viewing.
