Fllying with Ted....

I thought it was time to get my head out of the clouds and blog about or talk about or even think about something other than myself for just a few minutes...
Sohere goes...

Do you sisters know about TED?

If not stop reading this blog right now and click on www.TED.com

This is an amazing website.

It's tagline is "Ideas worth spreading."

From their website......

"TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.
The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 200 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted."

Some of the talks are informative, some are really thought provoking and some are laugh out loud funny. Some of the music I have heard on TED has oopwned mmme up to new artists, some talks totally changed my world view some, just really gave me insight into another part of the world.

I would urge you to spend 20 minutes today with TED, your life will be richer for it...
