My TED Story

I first heard of TED through a Nokia link. Curious as I usually am, I decided to visit the site and was immediately "addicted" to it. After watching a few very interesting videos I decided to take a more active part and registered as a translator. I currently follow new releases by RSS feed and try to translate at least one talk every month on my rare spare time.

It's time to get back to basics: healthy food, exercice (physical and mental) and a less stressful routine.
