TED

I've been MIA lately... and I'd go into how busy I am, but I'm sure you guys are all still busier than me, and don't complain. But hey, my high points during the week are when I have to leave my house the least, so take it with a grain of salt.

Ted Logo
I'm taking a creative writing class and the teacher made us watch a talk by Elizabeth Gilbert who wrote Eat, Pray, Love while she was at TED, which is a conference-thingy.

I really loved her talk, and just finished watching one by J.J. Abrams that also was really really wonderful. They reminded me of the Moth stories (wait, you don't remember me gushing about that podcast/website?!?! Google it now!) because they are so inspirational and though provoking, but most of all entertaining.

I'd check it out if I were you... especially because I hear the tickets to attend these conferences are like $5,000(!) and they have a ton of videos online for FREE.
