The TED conference is well known amongst the finest in certain fields. The conference is an opportunity for brilliant minds to share 10-30 minute nuggets of (mostly) fascinating information with the world. I found them scintillating and inspiring.
All the "Talks"

Some talks I found particularly worth discussing:
Dan Ariely: Why we think it's OK to cheat and steal (sometimes)

Richard Dawkins: An atheist's call to arms

Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

This isn't a cheap plug for TED. They don't need it. I want to talk about their videos with people from this vein of life.

The only thing I want to know is why I wasn't invited.

Play

A friend of mine was told her son has ADHD. She bought him a trampoline. He's studying physics now at NYU.

Any activity that leads to a child knowing more than when they started is learning. I learned a lot by playing... Mostly by doing dangerous stuff like climbing, falling, taking things apart, lighting things on fire, digging... Gever Tulley: 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do

Another TED talk similar to the one about play.
