TED Talks

I could write a post on the deficiencies of TED talks and how they're giving the appearance of detailed scientific education for the masses while simply allowing poorly thought through ideas to be propagated to the public, causing legitimate and well conducted research to be sidelined, but instead I give you John Oliver, and TODD Talks. 

The TODD talks starts at 15:48, however just watch the whole thing. As with pretty much every topic he covers, he just nails it.

The Expert

I've been meaning to post this video for some time. It was sent to me a year or so ago, and I actually couldn't make it all the way through, I think it was some form of "Startup PTSD". Fortunately I got over it pretty quickly, and I just marvel at the insight and genius. Truly awesome work.

 

Toddler vs CEO

Someone sent this to me and asked if it was what it was like having Meredith Perry as a CEO. I told them no, it wasn't.

I don't recall Meredith ever having special made-up words.

True Genius

Maybe Elizabeth Parish should start this company with them?

We're pleased to reveal our partnership with ubeam. Soon you'll have your finger pricked ultrasonically while you're sitting in Starbucks.
