Is your Textbook of the world done by Tintin?
I saw this a few days ago and absolutely loved it. It was an eye opener about even some of my own presuppositions about the rest of the world. I love the way Hans Rosling talks about his discoveries. This may help us track how to help, where to help, and what kind of help is needed where. It also gave me some optimism that we are heading in the right direction in pulling people out of the mud. Hope you don’t mind his Swedish Accent. Enjoy.

TED and why I like it?
You may have noticed in earlier posts that I reference talks given by different people at a conference called TED. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. This yearly conference is filled with many people talking about their ideas. These talks include pictures of penguins from an Antarctic trip, Learning about variations on a theme by a teenage piano player, funny pundits, Google, heart surgeons, Al Gore, and more. The theme of TED.com and the videos there is “Ideas Worth Spreading”. I have always loved great ideas. To quote a part of TED.com.
“Consider:
- An idea can be created out of nothing except an inspired imagination.
- An idea weighs nothing.
- It can be transferred across the world at the speed of light for virtually zero cost.
- And yet an idea, when received by a prepared mind, can have extraordinary impact.
- It can reshape that mind’s view of the world.
- It can dramatically alter the behavior of the mind’s owner.
- It can cause the mind to pass on the idea to others. “
So, please understand that sometimes, I’m just trying to share and idea, pass it along. I don’t expect you to agree or disagree, I just want to share ideas that affected my perspective. If you have or find great ideas, please, please, please share.

Bursts
Yes…
As you might have noticed…
I tend to write and post in bursts.
So maybe I don’t post each day, everyday, but I don’t always have something to say. I don’t always think of things on a daily basis but I will share when the spurratic burst hits me. Just check in on me every now and then. The more response I get, the more likely, I’ll talk more.
Love ya.
