collection of links

I am intending this entry to be a way of sharing some links to conversations that I find amazing!

They are in no particular order... You might notice several of them are from TED.com if you haven't been to the site, stop reading this and go there now. Explore the site for a while and enjoy.

Mick Ebeling: The Invention that Unlocked a Locked-In Artist
Eye recognition technology on the cheep (free) that allows people to communicate and express themselves!

Roger Ebert: Remaking My Voice
Newest favorite quote: "We are born into a box of time and space, we use words and communication to brake out of it and to reach out to others"

Randy Pausch: Last lecture, Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
Just amazing and inspired.  This guy has some amazing advice, his approach toward life and living is uplifting to say the least.

Tim Minchin's Storm, a nine minute beat poem

This reminds me of Penn Jillette's This I believe essay only with rhythm and poetry... Oooh that will be next 

This I Believe: Penn Jillette
I have loved this ever since I heard it air, for those of you who have not had the pleasure of listening to the NPR series look it up, some great stuff in there!


This is of course to be expanded apon... gotta dig up some old links!
