  A comment on Talk: David Pogue: 10 top time-saving tech tips

  Apr 27 2013: Most people know these tricks already. Found this talk too basic and kind of a waste of time in itself.

  A comment on Talk: Richard Turere: My invention that made peace with lions

  Mar 30 2013: "My community, the Maasai, we believe that we came from heaven with all our animals and all the land for herding them, and that's why we value them so much". I loved hearing that...
  
  It's so great that Richard in a way really embodies this statement through his actions and his invention. Rather than getting rid of the lions, he instead decided that through hard work and not giving up there was a nonviolent way to solve the issue. If only we could apply this kind of action and way of thinking in all the big issues our world faces. We would make peace with so much...

• A comment on Talk: Colin Powell: Kids need structure

  Mar 25 2013: Francesco, kids need discipline of course, but his ideas on how to bring about discipline and the terms he uses to describe these ideas sounded quite alarming to me.

  Mar 19 2013: Not yet, but I noticed that there seems to be an old abandoned garden hidden behind my building. Hoping to start a garden there as soon as I get the green light from my neighbors :D
  Thank you for the inspiration!

  A comment on Talk: Amanda Palmer: The art of asking

  Mar 17 2013: "For most of human history, musicians, artists, they've been part of the community, connectors and openers, not untouchable stars. Celebrity is about a lot of people loving you from a distance" - This left me pondering for some time...
  
  Thank you for speaking about your experience and bringing this awareness about the importance of asking and embracing the exchanges we make.
  
  You and your band can couch surf any time at my place in NYC. My home is your home :)

• A comment on Talk: Colin Powell: Kids need structure

  Mar 16 2013: "Soldiers", "army", "military experience" "teenagers with guns" "put them in ranks" make them look alike" "obey" etc - What on earth is this TED?!
  
  We definitely don't need more of this - just to get straight As? Really? This is the solution? This is the "gift" of a good start for a child? This is the "culture" we need to bring in our families? What?! Really??
  
  This sounds like a recipe to sucking out innocence, creativity, and childhood. There's no room for failure here. We're suppose to teach kids to become "Yes, Sir" / "No, Sir" kind of people. What!??
  
  Goodness, this is scary.
