broken smiling pig people

Pretty much from the moment my high school stats teachers showed my class a TED talk, I've had a not-so-small obsession for TED. I listen to these clips while getting ready in the morning, cleaning my room, or while doing my homework. I have a million of them downloaded for free onto my iTunes.

If you're unfamiliar with it, TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas. Scientists, researchers, comedians, experts, explorers, photographers, designers, mathmeticians, survivors, and really just anybody from anywhere in the world can be invited to give a TED talk. Speakers are challenged to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. They can be funny, inspiring, informative, persuasive, fascinating, or just entertaining.

I can seriously spend hours watching these videos. Annnd, in fact, I just did. If you're good with multitasking, it's great to have playing in the background.

I'm serious. Right this very minute, go check out TED. Or get a taste for them by watching below.

P.S. Watching the videos below might make the title of this post make sense.
