The TED video about siftables was for 12/02/09 in canadian date organization, or for you americans 02/12/09 :P entitled "TEDTalks : Siftables, the toy blocks that think - David Merrill (2009)"]]>Feb 26th 2009 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/
"NOOOOO!!!! Who will count my money when I've died of Yellow Fever??"]]>Feb 26th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/
How Benjamin Button got his face - Ed Ulbrich (2009) - this one is a neat look at the cg involved in the movie

How mindboggling science will outlast the crisis - Juan Enriquez (2009) - interesting take on cellular engineering, tissue engineering and robotics, and their crossover

How I'm trying to change the world now - Bill Gates (2009) - 'nuff said?

Hunting the next killer virus - Joe DeRisi (2006) - genomic, algorithmic virus detection

Inventing the next amazing thing - Woody Norris (2004) - ingenous use of distortion/corruption of hypersonic sound to create direction sound

Design, discovery and humor - David Carson (2003) - entertaining look at design

Understanding comics - Scott McCloud (2005) - re-invisioning of comics and similar media

How calculus is changing architecture - Greg Lynn (2005) - impressive use of computers and mathematical functions to create architecture that adapts to alterations

and finally

Great ideas for finding new energy - Bill gross (2003) - re-thinking solar thermal energy generation, using procedural evolutionary design (via computers)


There are numerous videos about all of these things and more, and I feel like they fall into three main categories, technology for the sake of technology (cutting edge technology for medicine, computers etc.), technology for the sake of culture (advancements in design, art, environmental preservation etc), and culture for the sake of culture (authors and musicians). All of which are great!

Sorry for the long post (and double post) much ]]>Feb 26th 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/Feb 26th 2009 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/Feb 26th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/Feb 26th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/Feb 26th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/Feb 26th 2009 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/intelligent-siftables-blocks-get-even-more-face-time/
