Say Hello to Ted...

[Textbook Bobcat]

Ted.com

I recently got referred to this website by a colleague at work, began talking with him a while back when I learnt he'd also read the Zeitgeist.

Since being referred, I've actually used my hours constructively and futhered my understanding of things that I thought I knew or had no clue of.

I genuinely recommend at the very least you watch one talk a week. Fifteen minutes isn't much (especially considering what you'll be doing with those fifteen minutes anyway) and odds are you'll want to spend more than that anyway.

"lectures" range from the development of a true robotic arm (backed by the US Defence...), a gentleman who creates Kinetic sculptures (they move fully when the wind blows), a mathemagician (ridiculous ability) and so many more.

Many of you may already know of this, if so good, if not you can benefit from it now.

Isn't this advertising?

I was going to say that, but wasn't sure.

Pretty sure its just a person who is sharing a website he finds interesting.

Not really, it is short for (Technology, Entertainment, Design) it's not really a website that could take traffic off of the Escapist, it's more of a cultural arts kind of website.

Yes it is advertising, but not in the sense that I work for anyone and am attracting revenue in doing so.


The site is non profit (as far as is immediately obvious), it uploads key note speeches for the public to view.

I am merely sharing something that has captured my interest, much as if someone's interest was caught by a film or video game and posted it here...

Hello, Ted.

I. Fucking. Love. TED.

Been watching the stuff there intermittently for a while now, and it's all really interesting.
