I’ve posted quite a lot of TED talks in the past on this blog; they’re great presentations, and fantastic resources to learn and hear about interesting subjects. I would love to be able to attend a TED conference in real life someday, but that would mean I should a) earn a lot of money, of b) become famous (this nudges more to the “web”/academic famous). Although I may still be far from attending such an event in real life, I did have the chance to attend the live stream of the conference here in London, organized by Nokia.

I’ve signed up for 3 of the 4 days, the Tuesday through to Thursday. Yesterday was the first day of presentations, and most of them were pretty amazing. Surprisingly, one of the most inspiring talks was from Gordon Brown, showing a more human side of himself than I think I’ve seen from him before. Instead of me blabbing on about what he talked about, just take a moment and listen to his talk yourself:

Episode 122: *blue*
