<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Every year TED invites esteemed academics, thinkers, doers, entrepreneurs, etc. to give an exclusive 15-18 minute long talk about what they do and why it is important for the rest of the world. I&#8217;ve shared one of these talks with you before, <a href="http://anthropology.net/2007/09/18/paleoanthropologist-zeresenay-alemsegeds-tedtalk/">Zeresenay Alemseged&#8217;s</a>. In this year&#8217;s conference, <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/louise_leakey_digs_for_humanity_s_origins.html">Louise Leakey</a>, of the Leakey family lineage of paleoanthropologists, talks about her life history and the importance of finding fossil hominids.</p>
<p>She emphasizes how hard it is to find fossils, her view of hominid diversity, and her accounts of when <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkana_Boy">Turkana Boy</a> was found and excavated when she was 12 years old. She also weaves in points about how our population growth needs to be moderated. If you got 15 minutes to spare, I recommend watching it to know a bit more about how fossils are found and the Leakey legacy.</p>

<description><![CDATA[A TED, o maior e melhor evento sobre tecnologia, educação e design que eu conheço, já está em andame]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://slicer.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/ted.png" alt="TED Logo" align="right" />A TED, o maior e melhor evento sobre tecnologia, educação e design que eu conheço, <b>já está em andamento</b> nas cidades estadunidenses de Monterey (TED2008) e Aspen (TED@Aspen). Até agora os palestrantes deste ano incluem Craig Venter (cientista que seqüenciou o genoma humano), a historiadora Doris Kearns Goodwin (que escreveu a biografia de Lincoln, Lindon Johnson, JFK, etc.), Stephen Hawking, a equipe do <a href="http://blog.ted.com/2008/02/worldwide_teles_1.php">WorldWide Telescope da Microsoft</a>, Louise Leakey (paleontóloga, escava e estuda fósseis de humanos pré-históricos), antropólogo Wade Davis (explorador da National Geographic, que já <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/69">palestrou na TED2003</a>).</p>
<p>A mais interessante para mim foi a de <a href="http://www.drjilltaylor.com/">Jim Bolte Taylor</a>, neuroanatomista que sofreu um derrame cerebral em 1996, que certamente veio com a melhor citação do dia:</p>
<blockquote><p>Aí eu percebi: estou tendo um derrame. E o meu hemisfério esquerdo me diz: wow, isto é tão legal, quantos cientistas do cérebro tên a chance de estudar isso do lado de dentro?</p></blockquote>
<p><b>O formato da TED é simples: palestrantes convidados têm 18 minutos para as suas apresentações. Outros palestrantes (incluindo aqueles que pediram para palestrar) recebem 3 minutos.</b> Isto torna toda palestra algo dinâmico, inspirador e instigante. As pessoas que vão à TED tem também a chance de conversar com os palestrantes em jantares e coquetéis mais tarde, discutir com outras pessoas que foram como espectadores, mas que em geral tem cacife para fazer eles próprios uma palestra.</p>
<p>Sem contar que a <a href="http://blog.ted.com/">cobertura no blog oficial da TED</a> (assim como no blog do Bruno Giussiani, <a href="http://www.lunchoverip.com/">LunchOverIP</a>, que é o organizador europeu da TED) é excelente, dando uma idéia geral do que foi falado em cada palestra, com partes importantes em destaque, um método de blogagem que eu aprecio muito.</p>
<p>O site da TED também tem um arquivo com quase todas as palestras já feitas nas conferências, disponível no <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks">TEDTalk</a>, que eu já comentei anteriormente aqui no blog.</p>
<p>Este ano a TED também trará uma novidade: <b>o evento na noite de hoje (28/02/2008), começando às 10:15, Horário de Brasília, <a href="http://www.ted.com/liveevent/watch/">será transmitido ao vivo no site da TED</a>.</b> Nesta noite serão apresentados <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/pages/view/id/163">Dave Eggers</a> (autor, filantropo e empreendedor literário), <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/pages/view/id/160">Neil Turok</a> (cosmólogo e ativista da educação) e Karen Armstrong (autoridade em comparações entre religiões). Eles receberam o TED Prize 2008.</p>
<p>&#8220;O TED Prize foi criado como uma maneira de pegar a inspiração, idéias e recursos que são gerados na TED e usar eles para fazer a diferença. Embora os vencedores recebam um prêmio de U$ 100.000 cada, esta é a menor das recompensas que eles ganham. O verdadeiro prêmio é que eles ganham um DESEJO. Um desejo para mudar o mundo.&#8221; São estes desejos que serão apresentados.</p>
<p>Para quem é viciado em Twitter como eu, pode acompanhar <a href="http://www.terraminds.com/twitter/query?query=TED&#38;submit=search+in+updates">comentários sobre a TED a partir do Terraminds</a>, que faz uma busca por <i>tweets</i>.</p>

A. blogging from TEDAspen 2008"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2299840957_1b14f128e71.thumbnail.jpg" alt="M. A. from L. A. blogging from TEDAspen 2008" /></a>As promised, I&#8217;m writing from TED Aspen after a roaring first day! You can read more about the first day line up on the TED website/blog section (www.ted.com), but here are my comments for the day:</p>
<p>You can imagine how pleased I am to be amongst a group of keen pattern recognizers and visionary conceptualizers (corporate &#8220;belief monks&#8221; opines one TEDster) for 4 days!!! And you might guess how lucky I felt to witness Day I presentations by the likes of palentoanthropologist Louise Leakey (of the esteemed Leakey family!), neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor (former stroke victim)  spiritual teacher Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, expert (comedian) John Hodgman, particle physicist Patricia Burchat and palentologist Peter Ward show how the micro is connected to the macro, the brain to the mind, the breath to non-violence, the indeterminate universe to Sheherazad like story telling (with tongue firmly planted in cheek)&#8230; and the human to other uprights standing great apes!  A brilliant orchestration of ideas, shared by a brilliant roster of people sharing their research and gifts.<a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169223_5669507e8a.jpg" title="2297169223_5669507e8a.jpg"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169223_5669507e8a.thumbnail.jpg" alt="2297169223_5669507e8a.jpg" /></a><a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169387_9eb20a229b_s1.jpg" title="Jill Bolton Taylor, neuroanatomist, TED 2008, Day 1: Who Are We"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169387_9eb20a229b_s1.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Jill Bolton Taylor, neuroanatomist, TED 2008, Day 1: Who Are We" /></a><a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297963086_ac14cecb54.jpg" title="Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, spiritual teacher, The Art of Living, TED 2008, Day 1: What is our place in the universe?"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297963086_ac14cecb54.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, spiritual teacher, The Art of Living, TED 2008, Day 1: What is our place in the universe?" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297962998_38961339ee.jpg" title="John Hodgman, Expert (geek celebrity), TED 2008 Day 1: What is our place in the universe?"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297962998_38961339ee.thumbnail.jpg" alt="John Hodgman, Expert (geek celebrity), TED 2008 Day 1: What is our place in the universe?" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297962976_a9fee55e72.jpg" title="Patricia Burchat, Particle physicist, TED 2008 Day 1: What is our place in the universe?"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297962976_a9fee55e72.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Patricia Burchat, Particle physicist, TED 2008 Day 1: What is our place in the universe?" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297963054_cfeb4a7b3d.jpg" title="Peter Ward, Paleontologist, TED 2008, Day 1: What is our place in the universe?"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297963054_cfeb4a7b3d.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Peter Ward, Paleontologist, TED 2008, Day 1: What is our place in the universe?" /></a></p>
<p>I saw a pattern in the talks: drawing on ancient technologies and survival skills to survive our present, whether it&#8217;s knowing the size of the skull of our African homonid forbearers or learning to exploit our &#8220;reptitilian potential&#8221; to produce H2S to survive possible great cosmic catastrophes!  And of course, the ancient practice of developing elegant neuroplasticity and restoration of the body/mind by means of breathing practice and ritual.  Talks by Anthropologist Wade Davis, Jill Bolton Taylor and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar gave heartfelt, intelligent presentations on how we can balance our understanding of our minds, ourselves and the complex world in which we live by engaging awareness of breath, ritual and the right hemisphere of our brains!<a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169283_d0811cb35a.jpg" title="2297169283_d0811cb35a.jpg"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169283_d0811cb35a.thumbnail.jpg" alt="2297169283_d0811cb35a.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Smart Education?  Comedic interludes (John Hodgman) and mind-blowing, poly rhythmic riffs and slides by Guitarist Kaki King.  <a href="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169603_760856e361.jpg" title="Kaki King, Guitarist, TED 2008 Day 1: What is our place in the universe?"><img src="http://spacesuityoga.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/2297169603_760856e361.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Kaki King, Guitarist, TED 2008 Day 1: What is our place in the universe?" /></a>This is definitely education for the  future!</p>
<p>Tomorrow I will offer to teach cellular respiration (one of the many restorative practices basic SpaceSuit Yoga) to the TEDsters during our breaks.  Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will be offering meditation sessions at TED in Montery.</p>
<p>Stay tuned!</p>
<p>Zoom zoom,</p>
<p>DR. G.<br />
Wednesday 11:07 p.m, Aspen Colorado</p>
