  A comment on Talk: John Lloyd inventories the invisible

  Sep 19 2009: it's interesting reading the comments on this particular talk. i was lucky enough to have been there for it. and i really enjoyed it. but i do think the fact that it was delivered in a slightly different context than most of the others - a bonus session, in a beautiful theatre, after an already full day of talks - is relevant. it might seem less weighty. but it worked super well for me.

• A comment on Talk: Imogen Heap plays "Wait It Out"

  Sep 19 2009: seeing Imogen Heap was one of my favourite things at TED Global. it would be fabulous if you could post the rest of her performance. i loved watching her create such wonderful sounds on stage. i just bought her CD. love it!

• A comment on Talk: Sophal Ear: Escaping the Khmer Rouge

  Jul 10 2009: the simplicity of this talk reinforces its power. the end is beautiful.

• A comment on Talk: Elizabeth Gilbert: Your elusive creative genius

  Feb 10 2009: the idea of 'having' a genius rather than 'being' a genius has really captured my mind. lots to ponder. thank you for sharing this.

  A comment on Talk: Jay Walker's library of human imagination

  Dec 15 2008: wow. i love that it isn't about the objects themselves but the ideas and connections they inspire. his coal demonstration made me think about what it takes to get people (me) to understand things. would we use and price resources differently if messages were conveyed this way.

• A comment on Talk: Samantha Power on a complicated hero

  Nov 13 2008: i like what Power says about needing to be in the room, with all the complexities that involves. i read her book about Vieira de Mello and found it inspiring.

• A comment on Theme: Top 10 TEDTalks

  Jun 29 2008: i think i've watched almost all of the TED talks that are available; a few of them more than once. i have a long list of favourites, all for different reasons. Majora Carter's talk is one that sticks in my mind, for her message and her passion. Also loved Dave Eggers TED Prize talk, Isabel Allende and Ben Dunlap.
  
  i've watched Benjamin Zander's talk twice this weekend and emailed it to half a dozen people. i think it might be a new addition to my list of favourites. thank you!

• A comment on Talk: Benjamin Zander: The transformative power of classical music

  Jun 28 2008: lovely. his words on shining eyes are powerful and beautiful. thank you.
