Whether I agree or disagree with the speakers, I always find the TED talks and events thought provoking, interesting and sometimes infuriating!

I'm sure Jim Jannard will get an invite at some point!

Some of the ones I liked this year:

It's funny because it's true.

If you haven't already, check out his book, Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape.
Real fun read.

My fave too! I'm afraid it's too late to change the urban landscape of the usa. Anything we do now is too little too late. I guess one can always move to New York...
