Have you ever heard of TED? No, TED isn't a guy, it a conference where very smart people get together and talk about changing the world and spend time inspiring one another. It's uber expensive, ultra exclusive (you need to write essays on your application - they want a cross section of people, not all monochromatic like usual conferences) and brings together a truly amazing cast of speakers to stimulate your senses. I can't help but think that this type of environment might kick me in the right direction - get me interested in taking a leap of faith and get me to follow through on one of my brilliant ideas that I'm always too chicken to do anything with because of a whole host of factors - money, insurance, mortgage payments, you know, the little stuff...
Someday I hope to go but in the meantime I'm pacified in that many of their talks are available online - here's the 2009 conference website. It seems that most of the vids they put out are posted through their blog.
In looking at the site today I came across this performance. If you've got a few minutes, and want to see something that I think is pretty unique -
Yeah, this is definitely what JAM would do if we ever got him 20 years of piano lessons.

Good lord, please don't give him 20 years of piano lessons. I'm not sure that I'm the biggest fan of this... my head hurt after 30 seconds. Fine line between "art" and "out of control," right?
