  • A comment on Talk: Dan Meyer: Math class needs a makeover

    May 20 2010: I am homeschooling my 8-year old and I just roll my eyes at the math books our program provides. They aren't even 2.5 Men! These are more like Barney!

    I enjoyed this TED Talk very much.
  • A comment on Talk: Eve Ensler on security

    Feb 13 2010: Wow... I just confirmed something I had a feeling about: I really hate watching some read to me. Even Eve Ensler.
  • A comment on Talk: Chris Anderson on TED's nonprofit transition

    Feb 7 2008: That was a nice journey down memory lane. I was in the audience that day and can clearly remember how happy I was that I wasn't Chris Anderson at that moment.

    Looking back now, it's inspiring to see how his nervousness about the unknown future of TED didn't interfere with his passion for it to blossom.

    I am guilty of getting stuck in the "what if" possibilities much more often than I'd like. Chris' talk is a shinning example of the power of moving beyond fear, and headstrong into construction.

    Well done.
