Some interesting TED stuff

[tiggymalvern]

Sometimes I do stop playing LOTRO and reading fanfic for a while, and I go and poke around at the TED site.

I can't make the embedded versions work for some reason, so links only.

Gardening in poor neighbourhoods in Los Angeles - teaching kids to eat healthy food. I love this guy's attitude!

Education in deprived and isolated locations. Not an answer to everything, but some crazy results.

I like that people like you sift through TED talks to get to the good ones for me. :D

Sometimes I go to the site and watch a dozen vids that sounds interesting, only to find that they're not. Other times, it's OMG this is all so awesome!

Thanks for links to TED! I didn't know about this site.

TED has something on just about every subject under the sun, and that's part of the problem! Sifting out the stuff that's personally interesting to you from the stuff that's not is tough.

I first came across it when someone linked me to an Aimee Mullins talk. (http://www.ted.com/talks/aimee_mullins_prosthetic_aesthetics.html) If you haven't seen that one, do!
