TEDTalks is treasure

For a break from the news of torture and the suspension of habeas corpus and the child-molesting conservative Republican and the terrorist-strengthening war and warrantless wiretaps, and... You can go here and be inspired. TEDTalks It is the collected lectures at the exclusive Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) conference. It's an extraodinary collection. No need for DVDs for me for a while. Watch an on-line stream, or even download all the audio and video. Just magic.
