While browsing one of Rob’s favourite blogs, I came across an article that, on the surface, seemed really bland and missing something, but after following the link, ended up being the coolest thing I’d seen all month. The actual video that is being referenced provides some amazing possibilities (Note: I wasn’t able to see the video on the homepage of the blog, but looking at the direct link, it seems to be there. If you can’t see it on ForgetFoo, click on the CollegeHumor link.). After watching the video, I went to check out Paul Kedrosky and noticed a short post about TED. TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, was started in 1984 and seems to be an important driving force for innovations; consider the following points from the TED website:

• An idea can be created out of nothing except an inspired imagination.
• An idea weighs nothing.
• It can be transferred across the world at the speed of light for virtually zero cost.
• And yet an idea, when received by a prepared mind, can have extraordinary impact.
• It can reshape that mind’s view of the world.
• It can dramatically alter the behavior of the mind’s owner.
• It can cause the mind to pass on the idea to others.
