Jille Bolte Taylor's talk at TED
Tonight is TED talks night. I first watched the new Gore talk, which was pretty good. My next talk is going to be Nicholas Negroponte's 1984 talk (well, the part of it that still available).
But in between I just watched Jill Bolte Taylor's talk. And this just floored me. It's ... well, it's just something you have to watch. The whole thing.

I've never heard of TED. Now I have. This is awesome. I watched (listened) to all three of the links here, enthralled. I especially liked the Taylor and Negroponte talks. About Negroponte, I had the chance to spend some quality time at MIT's Media Lab with Mitchel Resnick as a science journalism grad student at Boston University back in 2000. I was there to film a short documentary about emergence...one of my favorite topics. What an amazing place. If there is a place I'd like to work, it's the media lab. As for Bolte's talk, it floored me too. At any rate, thanks for this tip. Have you explored edge.org?
I did not know about edge.org, I'll have a look at it.
There are many great talks on TED, I guess I should write a post about my favorite ones. Yet one more draft to put in MarsEdit ;-)
