Do I really need to say anything more than Bohemian Rhapsody, virtuoso ukelele edition?

(thx david)

Nice, TED had Ze Frank back, and he turns in another great talk. Love the last project.

Gary Lauder’s TED talk, in which he proposes a “take turns” traffic sign, is worth it for the cost analysis of how much a three-way stop costs alone. It’s also very short, even for TED, clocking in at 4:27:

This is great, Adam Savage (Mythbusters) on his passion for objects, and his making of two replicas, a dodo skeleton and the Maltese Falcon.

Absolutely hang in there for the whole thing, because the bit about the Chinese newspaper at the end really hammers home his dedication (not that you wouldn’t be convinced of that earlier). I love watching people who love what they do.

Another great TED Talk from the archives: Peter Donnelly on statistics. Don't be scared, it's totally accessible and engaging. Trust me, I was an English geek, math ain't my strong suit. Coincidentally, this also crossed my path today, from Nature, The Science Of Doping.

Robert Lang's TED Talk. Excellent. Also on TED, Bruno Bowden folds while Rufus Cappadocia plays (actually, Rufus upstages the folding, I'll have to hunt down his CD).
