Wow

Nolan, who is one of my coworkers, introduced me to the TED Conference today, which is very cool. How the hell have I missed this?

Check out some of the presentations that were given by interesting people at this year's conference, including Al Gore and David Pogue.

But the most fascinating presentation of all- both in terms of content and style- was given by Hans Rosling, a public health expert who co-founded Gapminder, which is worth checking out.

Hans Gosling is a genius, and Al Gore is almost laugh-out loud funny (and, of course, extremely relevant). Every ounce of power denied to people like them is wasted.
