| Rives: A mockingbird remix of TED2006 |
 |
http://www.ted.com The bird is the word, and
everyone gets heard, as Rives recaps the most
memorable moments of TED2006, with a fantastical
Mockingbird lullaby. Mixing the personal with the
universal in free-spirited rhyming verse, he
imagines using mockingbirds to redistribute the
world's underappreciated sounds. "They listen and
mimic and remix what they like / they rock the
mic." The magic of this piece is best appreciated
after watching a range of talks from TED2006.

| Tom Rielly: A comic send-up of TED2006 |
 |
http://www.ted.com Satirist Tom Rielly delivers a
wicked parody of the 2006 TED conference, taking
down the $100 laptop, the plight of the polar
bear, and people who mention, one too many times,
that they work at Harvard. Watch for a very
special moment between Tom and Al Gore. Impossible
to summarize, pointless to explain, ladies and
gentlemen, Tom Rielly ...

| Hans Rosling: Watch the end of poverty |
 |
http://www.ted.com In a follow-up to his
now-legendary TED2006 presentation, Hans Rosling
demonstrates how developing countries are pulling
themselves out of poverty. He shows us the next
generation of his Trendalyzer software -- which
analyzes and displays data in amazingly accessible
ways, allowing people to see patterns previously
hidden behind mountains of stats. (Ten days later,
he announced a deal with Google to acquire the
software.) He also demos Dollar Street, a program
that lets you peer in the windows of typical
families worldwide living at different income
levels. Be sure to watch straight through to the
(literally) jaw-dropping finale.

| Jill Sobule: A happy song about global warming |
 |
http://www.ted.com Like nearly everyone at
TED2006, Jill Sobule was stirred by Al Gore's
spectacular speech on the clear and present danger
of climate change. The time for action is now,
Jill thought. And so she wrote a song. But since
everyone else was so down about the impending
collapse of ecological systems, which could lead
to floods, drought, hurricanes, mosquito
overpopulation and species extinction, she decided
to write a happy song about global warming. And
here it is: Inspired by TED Curator Chris Anderson
(who cameos here). Written and performed first at
TED. Al Gore loved it, and so will you...
