WOW

Vizualization, Interaction, Beauty, Data, Web, Metaphors and More


One element is surprisingly missing though - Sound.
Another is Smell - which maybe doable in this day and age!

TED Talks

i have a tendency to keep telling the same people about TED Talks. and so i always start with - did i ever tell you about TED? so i'm going to stop this practice - by writing a post on www.ted.com. Ted Talks is an online resource for talks/presentations by people who participate in the annual TED conference. their catch phrase is - Ideas Worth Spreading and their method is by getting people worth listening-to to talk.

it all began with Larry Lessig talking about creativity in these times in an awesomely creative way.



another talk on creativity and education - this one is positively hilarious.

Majora Carter speaks on Environmental Activism - and her story is truly amazing, and so is she.



i have seen really amazing stuff on TED - a wonderfully inspired view of the world. my recommendation is - click on this, register, sign up for weekly updates and - i promise that sooner than later you will find your own favourite 10 talks that appeal specifically to your interests.

i watched the following talk recently - the most beautiful statistics i've seen - presenting an amazing picture of the world the world we live in.

happy watching :)
