Pretty close to what my own TED list would be. There's something of a "Reality Distortion Field" with TED. Which is a double-edged sword but does make for pleasant presentations. Nice list.

Very cool, I actually watched Jill Bolte Taylor discusses her stroke of insight this morning. Very very cool concept of being able to choose between your right & left brain and experience *Nirvana* on demand. I think I experience this while running in the 100 degree heat here in Tejas. lol! cheers! Aronado~ Nice!

(He's a great comedian too). I'm not sure whether my education actively stifled creativity, but it certainly didn't encourage it much - yet it's the creative aspects of my (geeky) work that I find most satisfying.

There's so much great content at TED and we all like slightly different stuff. Knowing your favorites is a fascinating insight into what makes you tick (which I already have a good idea of). So not fair that you've been to TED. I didn't get selected for 2009... Think I might need to adopt this mini-meme. There’s so much great content at TED and we all like slightly different stuff.

If this talk inspired you to dig into a bit of classical I recommend Jan Swafford's amazingly fun-to-read "The Vintage Guide To Classical Music". Also I have the complete collection of solo Chopin pieces, performed by Vladmir Ashkenazy. It's the most emotional interpretation of Chopin, beautiful stuff! Yochai Benkler's talk gets my vote for "most practical"... Also I'm surprised Ray Kurzweil's bit on the Singularity didn't make it ;-) Thanks for an inspiring post!
