1 hour ago: the design principles found in nature are truly amazing. note that this talk was in 07'. wonder if there has been any other developments since? as a rock climber as well, i wish the climbing companies, took this design into consideration when making climbing shoes! :) Lols!

23 hours ago: We have something much better. A mini-roundabout. These are prolific in Europe, and they dont need any center "furniture" (eg a post or tree in the middle), just paint. They work beautifully for a 3 way intersection, and are pretty much what you are suggesting. Except that the rules are much clearer - you yield to the traffic on your left (or right in the UK).

3 days ago: THE sun slipped below a jagged horizon of red pines, and another long winter’s night began in the north woods. I sat on a cot in my long johns, a few feet from a wood stove blasting heat like a furnace, inside a canvas tent pitched here about 15 miles from the nearest road in southern Ontario.

On the blue tin plate in my lap lay a lake-trout filet that was all I had to show from six hours of fishing through a hole cut in two feet of ice. The temperature outside was zero, our warmest night yet by a good 10 degrees.

5 days ago: for those who wish to see the list of technologies that have been funded, or awarded, and or diffused, see nifindia.org . What is even more remarkable is the innovation exhibition which President Patil inaugurated at President's House on Macrh 10, 2010. This is first ever exhibition of innovations hosted by any Head of the state. Recognition at that level bestows benefits which no monetary reward can ever equal. However, list of 57 technology licensing mediated by honey bee network is also available for those who care. In each case, the entire benefits have gone to the innovators. see awarded technologies at www.nifindia.org and open source innovations and tk at www.sristi.org the impact of open source innovations is even larger then the rest

5 days ago: hi,
i am a 2nd year student from the university of Malta. We are planning to go abroad to experience new ideas and expand our view of architecture and not confine our ideas to the things we only see in Malta and on magazines and the internet. this speech really inspired me and i was wondering if we could arrange something for my fellow student friends and myself to come and experience and learn from the architecture you have to offer.
Can someone give me an email or number i can contact regarding this.
Thanks
Andrew

5 days ago: How to feed the world? That is a big question. A technique I found just last month uses the same techniques to produce huge amounts of food in small spaces just like the place in this talk.
TED, you really need to get Bill Mollison, Geoff Lawton or one of the other permaculture founders. Just look up the Dervaes family on YouTube. They are doing amazing things that can change how we feed the world. YouTube has all kinds of amazing example of permaculture just search on that term.

6 days ago: In his later teens his family moved to Fullerton, California where he enrolled in Fullerton College. Without direction he decided to drop out and took a job as a truck driver. After seeing Star Wars his interest in film-making was rejuvenated and he hit the libraries again to study the craft.

6 days ago: An amazing performance. I wish the video was a straight shoot of the event with minimal edits/cuts, especially in the last section - it is a physically astonishing performance and any cuts/edits (in this case) take away from the magic IMHO and make it seem much more common place. Also, higher resolution would be great!
