TED

If you have never heard of TED, let me introduce you. TED is a series of talks on "ideas worth spreading". The topics vary from technology to entertainment and are for the most part very facinating.

One of my favorites so far was a TED talk by Stefan Sagmeister, a New York based graphic designer. His talk focused on the idea of taking time off in order to regenerate ideas. He takes a whole year off every 7 years. In this time he does not take any clients, the whole operation shuts down. Watch the video here . The poster below is from his company website, i liked the little blurb about the apostrophe "our apostrophe is in the letter elimination business", how clever.
