Have been lucky enough in the past to attend TED a couple of times. This inspiring, up-scale, invitiation-only conference on Technology, Entertainment and Design, usually held in California every year, features a glittering roster of speakers and entertainers. TED have just made good on their desire to make some of this material available to a wider audience - placing half-a-dozen terrific talks from the 2006 event online. It's truly marvellous stuff - I particularly liked Sir Ken Robinson's talk on creativity in education "why don't children dance at school as regularly as they do Maths..?" and Al Gore's speech on sustainability (much better in the original than the resulting movie...). The only down-side is that it has made me want to attend the February 2007 event, which is unfortunately now closed for registration...
