Today’s inspiration comes from the TEDTalks Series at Ted.com. The annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Oxford, bring together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).

On TED.com, they make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free.
