Yesterday I was addicted to TED.com, clicking on vids and listening to people talk while I painted my shirt.
I don't know how many I listened to, and for once I'm not gonna count (I usually like to keep record of things. Like how many times I ordered pizza in June).
Majority were interesting. Steve Jobs told his life story very very well (he's one of those great people I meant to do research on. thank God it was made easy into a video and can be found on youtube.)
Then there was this super interesting one on spaghetti sauce.
And others on light-hearted subjects like '5 dangerous things you should let your kids do' or 'games for girls' or 'wearing nothing new' (bubbly designer Jessi Arrington).
Finally, I rewatched the first TED video I saw in year one, School Kills Creativity, Ken Robinson. It's really cool to finally understand what he's talking about cuz I rmb back then I thought it was deeply academic, but actually he was really funny.
Can't help it. I MUST make a list of what I clicked on:
Joan Halifax: Compassion and the true meaning of empathy
Steve Jobs: How to live before you die
Alan Kay shares a powerful idea about ideas (found this sucky)
Brenda Laurel on games for girls
Gever Tulley 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do
Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity
Jessi Arrington: Wearing nothing new
Joseph Pine on what consumers want (bleah)
Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce (way more successful in conveying the above message)
Seth Godin on standing out (obvious..)
Yves Behar on designing objects that tell stories
Jacek Utko designs to save newspapers
James Surowiecki: When social media became news (for arc)
ew. get a life
