Ze Frank on TED

Ze Frank has literally taken over huge chunks of mental real estate this month. In case you didn't know August is Live A Calmer Existence month and in an attempt to slow down and take it easy I have let my imagination co-pilot my life for awhile and the journey to discovering fresh ideas and new experiences has led me to one extraordinarily witty and poignant web toy designer Ze Frank. His TED talk which I've posted here is great but I appreciate him more in the short video format which he has perfected in a web series called The Show. Each webisode is chocked full of fast paced witticism, imagination and pure intelligence. There's a little somethin somethin for everyone! I can feel the creative juices flowing already!

YES WE CAN

Ah precious internet how I love thee. I've been perusing The Facebook, hitting it a little harder than usual making up for a weekend spent out of town and away from my beloved hard drive. And what do you know, I stumbled upon a gem of inspiration of TED Talks proportions. Over at Dipdive.com Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas was inspired to turn politics into powerful performance, peppered with just enough glamorously inspirational testimonials to get this blogger on her feet and out to the post box to mail off her absentee ballot.
