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. Proof, in my mind, that Richard Dawkins is wrong.

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.
