I watched the first one about crows and it was really interesting.  That would be cool if they eventually trained crows to pick up garbage and stuff in exchange for food.

theres a really good talk by an artist who makes these mechanical creatures that harness wind power, store it in plastic bottles, and walk. basically he reinvented the wheel and created a contraption that weighs 2 tons, doesn't have any wheels on it, and can be pushed my one man. if anyone else has seen it refresh my memory, i think the guy's last name is johannsen

I went to Ted X in boston. They put the best ones online but there are thousands that arn't

I'd suggest going to one in your local area if you have the chance.

Very inspiring

really legit. always watch them in AP Environmental Science, and they are pretty sick.

Supposedly to get a seat at the one in Washington D.C. its like $25,000 a ticket, since there are speakers like Hilary Clinton and Bill Gates
