Goddamn, i say goddamn!

So if you haven't checked it out already, you really need to be watching the TED talks. They're interesting, exciting, and always informational, and they kind of make you have hope for humanity and the future again - perhaps the opposite of watching George Bush on the tv for so long, if you will.

And now, masters as always of the digital age, they've cataloged all the talks into an excel spreadsheet and put it on google documents for us all to use. How simple and genius is that? What's that you say? Using a program that people already use to do something that's actually incredibly helpful? As one set of humans to a large group of humans? Is that even allowed?

The answer seems to be yes.

Here's my favorite from the past few months, but definitely take a look at the spreadsheet itself and browse around a little. Tell us what you're favorite ones are by posting the links in the comments section!

Your Mind-Blow of the Day: Blaise Aguera speaks @ TED

So i found this after Julia PT mentioned geeking out to it and suggested I look it up. It's part of the TED talks, which never cease to excite and inspire me. It took me a few days to get around to watching it, but i just did, and WOW! completely mind blowing and exciting! This type of inter-information-sharing is something that excites me not only because it's a new and interesting technology, but because it really facilitates an exchange of human knowledge and experience. Things like this make me think that all those people (my friends being some of them) who talk about a "coming together of minds" in the impending 2012 might have a point...

Check it out, and make sure you watch all the way through.
