TED Presentations

Another great TED presentation.

Dan Ariely talks about why we think its OK to cheat, and links this with finance market activity. A short presentation, but a insightful one based on considerable research over a long period of time. Why and when do we think its OK to cheat? how much and how often? Check out the video. He also has a book that I have to add to my growing reading list now!

Another very entertaining TED presentation, this time from Adam Savage (mythbusters on Discovery channel)

A good insight into how Adams mind works! This is worth the 15minute investment.

TED Presentations

This is a great presentation from Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs" on discovery channel.

He is firstly a very good story teller, someone who you actually want to listen to, secondly he has a great story to tell, and thirdly he conveys a strong memorable message.

It is only a short video, well worth investing some time in, if nothing more its great entertainment.

New video camera

So yesterday it struck me, I need a new cheap, easy to use video camera for loading video onto the internet (yeah, I know, I dont "need" one, but anyway).

I had seen the flip cam and thought they looked very good, easy to use, light, etc. But it seems they were hard, if not impossible to source in Australia, so after an hour on the web I located a similar product here.

At $99AUD it was not a very risky investment, so I headed over to the retailer and picked it up in the afternoon.

I have had a play around with it for an hour or so and it is a fun little camera. It is never going to be broadcast quality for that price, but for loading quick videos up onto the net it is actually very good. An example of the quality is below.
