Indefinitely better than TV
For propably half a year I haven't watched any TV - not because I don't like see moving pictures every once in a while, but because the videos you can (legally) download from the Internet are just so much better. Now I wanted to use this post to point you to the one source of videos that has been my absolute favorite: TED talks. These are simply 10 to 25 minute conference presentations - but they are so well done, the topics are so varied and the speakers so impressive that they have nothing in common with your average conference presentations and they beat the crap out of almost anything on TV.
Below I've embedded three of my favorite ones - You'll need one hour to watch them all, but you will not regret it.
The first talk is an incredibly passionate call for the exploration of the sea by Robert Ballard - a talk filled with the astonishing things we learned about the oceans in the last few decades.
The second talk "My Year of Living Biblically" is a very funny talk from a journalist and book author about his one year experiment of following every rule and commandment in the bible (he even managed to stone an adulterer).
Finally the last talk I want to share with you is from Chris Bangle - the controversial genius behind BMWs (and Minis and Rollce Royce) recent car designs (who - sadly - has announced to leave BMW). In his talk he passionately argues that cars are Art and that Design is Love. Did you know that every car you see out there is sculped?
