Big fan of TEDTalks...KISS TV nowadays airs a few of them, not sure when...I keep stumbling on it on most weekends. But my best has to be Peter van Uhm: Why I chose a gun... Brilliant narrative on why his instrument is a gun.

This "Mathemagician" guy is out-of-this-world. His mind = wow!

I discovered him in youtube, did not know that he did a ted. Will look for it.

I started watching TedTalks when that malawian boy built a windmill and I was hooked. I have however watched many good ones and some bad. However 2 really stand out for me namely....
'the danger of the single story' which I have watched it multiple times coz it captures my spirit (succeeding inspite of)
and the most inspiring talk i.e. 'autonomous flying robots' by Vijay Kumar coz it made me act and build my own 'raiyacopter'


Great to see you got inspired. This kid was so much better than the presenters at TEDEXNairobi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7Id9caYw-Y

There's an old TEDTalk, where a professor does magic with statistics and regression analysis then at the end of it he does real magic. "Nothing is what it seems"
"Money never sleeps"

I agree with him. For mechanical work, incentives work but otherwise, incentives restrict you as it narrows your work to reaching the goal: the incentive!
