One of my favorite professors at Penn State, Dr. Warren, spent a long time recently discussing TED. Although I had previously spent time on the site and looked at a few videos, I had never bothered to really search and find all the treasures that were available. For those of us nerds who like watching speeches about a variety of topics, this is certainly a dream come true.
What is even better, at least for those of us at Penn State, is that TEDx is hosting an event locally! TEDxPSU will occur on 10/10/10 and host some amazing speakers. Bruce Schneier is a genius in all things "security" and is a great writer. I'm really excited to see the man behind the words that I've read! The other speaker I can't wait to see is Sam Richards, a professor here at PSU. Although I've seen him speak a few other times, I always come away with a few new nuggets of information that change how I view things.
The two links below are probably my two favorite speeches on the site. Although they are both quite popular, there are reasons for this.
I truthfully never thought I would enjoy statistics as much as this...
Hans Rosling shows the best stats you've ever seen
For those of you who are miserable at your jobs, I beg you, please watch this video.
Do what you love (no excuses!)
I hope you enjoy the website as much as I do!
