TED Video – Graham Hill, Less stuff, more happy?

Hi, thought I’d quickly share another great TED talk with you.

Graham Hill discusses if having less stuff can make you more happy? A simple enough argument, in which he lays out 3 rules for editing your life.

The idea of ‘Stuff’ is something that plagues me a bit the older I get, I constantly think about giving away/recycling a significant amount of my things so I lead a life less cluttered and beholden to the crap that fills every corner of my house

This video is from a recent TED talk by rez Lieberman Aiden and Jean-Baptiste Michel as they show us how the NGram Viewer in Google Labs’  works and a few of the surprising things we can learn from 500 billion words.  The NGram tool lets you search for words and ideas in a database of 5 million books from across centuries.

The search geek in me came out when I watched this video given keyphrase analysis is a key part of my working days

TED Videos – Ken Robinson

I have seen two TED talks by Ken Robinson, both really hit home with me. The education system is something that alot of people get very passionate about – and I am no different. I won’t try and lead you with my feelings on the subject, but I think these are both worth a watch, if no other reason than Sir Ken Robinson has an impeccable delivery and comic timing.

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution!

TED Videos – One Day of Peace

Recently been spending alot of time on the TED app. TED is something I was aware of for a long time, but had never got round to taking a look at, I’m so pleased I finally did! All because my brother sent me a video of jake shimabukuro playing Bohemian Rhapsody on a Uke. (man I love my ukulele).

Anyway, one of the first talks I watched was this one from Jeremy Gilley of Peace One Day. I hope you enjoy it.
