TED- Hans Rosling: Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen
One more video in the TED series. This video is probably the best presentation of scientific data that I have seen so far. The level of detail of the graphics, the technology behind them and the powerful tools provided by the software is amazing and makes the boring statistics much more easier to grasp for the public.
20 minutes on the history of the world, the third countries, child health and much, much more!

TED - Ideas worth spreading
What is TED? I do not really know how to explain it!
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design and brings together people from this field in a conference. A conference where the beauty of all ideas come together and if you have the curiosity to explore the site .... you will find plenty of beautiful ideas.
Today I have lost some time on the site but I think that I have actually gained a lot of ideas. What can I compare this site to ? Well, the best comparison I think are the boxes of old stuff in your grandparents attic. There you always find interesting things. So go on, start digging!
Here is a sample about city architecture. It is given by a Brazilian architect and ... well , I'll just say that people living in Bucharest might learn a thing or two about what a city is supposed to be.

Time management
Ieri Cristina mi-a atras atentia asupra unui exceptional seminar de Time Management. M-a impresionat atat profesorul care a tinut seminarul , cat si seminarul in sine. Eu personal am foarte multe de invatat din acesta conferinta. Daca aveti alte metode de management al timpului care functioneaza bine pentru voi, va rog sa le impartasiti cu ceilati!
