TED.COM

A few months ago I 86ed my yahoo homepage, email, the whole thing. SOOOO annoying. I switched my homepage to TED.com and got a simple gmail. I like new ideas from brilliant people so TED.com is a perfect fit for me. There are over 600 talks from people way smarter than I am so I get to learn a ton and I find the site fascinating. In a day I typically peruse TED.com, NYTimes, velonews, surfline, check FB, work on my blog and thats about it. The internet is a wonderful thing. You can get new ideas, network socially and do it all quickly and for free. What a great age we live in. I do have boundaries tho. Less than 20 people have my cell number. My cell does not have email, internet, or other gadgets that keep you on in constantly, but it does have texting. No offense but I dont want to go through my whole life fiddle faddling with a palm sized gadget all day long. Those things have there place and with boundaries there just amazing.

Anyways there was an amazing talk today http://www.ted.com/talks/william_li.html about eating our way to defeating cancer. Very enlightening stuff. Check it out.
