Terrific Tuesday<\/span>
\n. . . . upgraded to . . . .<\/span>
\nTERRIFIC TED<\/span>NESDAY!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

And now for something completely different … mostly! I do have favourite topics and have officially changed today’s name to TED<\/span>nesday in honour of <\/span><\/b>TED Ideas Worth Spreading<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Everyone has heard of TED Talks! The first time I was told about them, my first thought was … who is this Ted person and why should I listen to him!<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

And of course, TED<\/a><\/strong><\/span> stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\n

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, \"\"<\/a><\/span>Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics \u2014 from science to business to global issues \u2014 in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Just a slight sidebar here … I usually discover something amazing (ie. LEARN<\/strong> <\/span>something new!) if you look for an ‘About’ or ‘Who We Are’ or even a dedicated search engine WITHIN a website to uncover hidden jewels of information! And it is usually just one click away, or even visible as a magnifying glass icon!\"\"<\/p>\n

This might be obvious to almost everyone, but … when that one person that lights up because you showed them a neat new trick at a website …. priceless<\/span><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

So maybe, this next tidbit will help someone – TED actually has a very robust search engine itself<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!  And they also offer pre-made TED Playlists<\/a><\/strong><\/span> too! Just click on the images below to see TED Talks Playlists<\/a><\/strong> and <\/span>TED Talks search engine for Languages<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>!<\/p>\n

Many of TED Talks are also found at YouTube as well, but there are so many extra benefits at TED.COM that I recommend looking there first. You never know what you might find!<\/p>\n

And using an abundance of caution and a balance of fair play and common sense, I did a search for ‘Worst TED Talks of All Time<\/a><\/strong><\/span>‘ and came up with this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But I do DISAGREE<\/strong> <\/span>with Arthur Benjamin<\/a><\/strong><\/span> – A Performance of Mathemagic<\/a><\/strong><\/span> on  that list! No way that almost 10,000,000 of us can be wrong! That is my Inner Math Teacher speaking! LOL!<\/p>\n
