TED Logo TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design and it's a yearly conference in Long Beach in California that started in 1984.

This is the second part in a series of blog entrys where I list the TED Talks I think are the most interesting, funny, moving or amazing, and this second set is from the second to last page of the complete list of TED talks. Today that page is page 47. Last page I wrote about this there were about 200 Talks, now there are 548. The last page then was 23, now it is 48.

My favourite TED Talks, part 2

  • Cameron Sinclair on open-source architecture
    TED Prize winner Cameron Sinclair talks about open-source architecture. By making designs that are open-source, as in free, you can do something about global housing crisis. The designs and thinking behind them are really interesting. I really like how the UN build stuff and how you really should build stuff by taking into account the needs of the people and the place the building will be. In the desert for instance it would be a good idea to design a house that collects rain when it rains and who is cool when it is hot outside, not actually hotter inside than outside as the UN houses are.

  • Jeff Han demos his breakthrough touchscreen
    Cool tech! A touchscreen for your computer. This was filmed in 2006, and a few the gestures are  present in the iPhone from Apple. But this is cooler still.

Hej FRA!

Hej FRA knapp

Hej FRA!

Det finns ingen anledning att läsa denna webbsida. Jag har ingenting att göra med Federazione Anarchica Informale, Hizb al-Mujahidin eller ETA. Jag har aldrig gjort Hadjdj eller tillverkat ABC-stridsmedel, jag vet knappt ens vad Al-Fattah betyder. Men tack för visat intresse!

PS. Terroristattacker kommer knappast att planeras över okrypterade mail. Sabba FRA-lagen på www.hejfra.se

(This text is a polite protest regarding a really stupid new law here in Sweden, where all communication in email, webb, phone will be stored and monitored, so the text is in swedish only.)
