TED

About TED:

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

Found this as I was viewing Jeff Han's and Hans Rosling's talks on their respective "inventions". Since then I've been viewing and downloading videos from TED along the way. I recommend this site to those who want to see/hear some good presentations, along with some great ideas. Don't take all in wholesale though, take it as sharing of ideas/thoughts/opinions, heh. ;)
