Remind me never to record a video when it's sunny,
cloudy and windy - that's why the light keeps
changing, and also why I'm squinting! I also must
NOT make videos first thing in the morning - no
breakfast means bad temper, lack of concentration,
and a zillion out-takes.

| Vilayanur Ramachandran: A journey to the center of your min |
 |
http://www.ted.com - In a wide-ranging talk,
Vilayanur Ramachandran explores how brain damage
can reveal the connection between the internal
structures of the brain and the corresponding
functions of the mind. He talks about phantom limb
pain, synesthesia (when people hear color or smell
sounds), and the Capgras delusion, when
brain-damaged people believe their closest friends
and family have been replaced with imposters.

| Janine Benyus: 12 sustainable design ideas from nature |
 |
http://www.ted.com With 3.8 billion years of
research and development on its side, nature has
already solved problems that human designers and
engineers still struggle with. In this inspiring
talk, Janine Benyus provides fascinating examples
of biomimicry -- the way humans mimic nature in
the products we build and the systems we
implement. And because the champion adapters in
the natural world are, by definition, those that
can survive without destroying the environment
that sustains them, biomimicry can contribute to
the long-term health of our planet.

| Craig Venter: On the verge of creating synthetic life |
 |
http://www.ted.com "Can we create new life out of
our digital universe?" asks Craig Venter. And his
answer is, yes, and pretty soon. He walks the
TED2008 audience through his latest research into
"fourth-generation fuels" -- biologically created
fuels with CO2 as their feedstock. His talk covers
the details of creating brand-new chromosomes
using digital technology, the reasons why we would
want to do this, and the bioethics of synthetic
life. A fascinating Q&A with TED's Chris Anderson
follows (two words: suicide genes).
