Have you heard of TED? Technology, Entertainment & Design. It’s an annual conference…kind of an exclusive event, hard to get a ticket. Anyway, leaders or innovators in those fields are invited to come and present. Here are a few of my favorites:
Jennifer Lin an amazing 14-year old pianist. Her improvisation at about 20 minutes in is incredible.
A demo from a Microsoft guy of future image-handling software (seadragon and photosynth). If you think Picasa is cool…wow.
A really interesting way of presenting data. No powerpoint slides for this guy.
Lots of others.
Jason, thanks for keeping me up til 1:30 am last night. I especially enjoyed the photo-handling presentation and the economics data visualization. Awesome stuff.
Jennifer Lin was OK at the piano too.
Dick Dawkins bugged me.
