TED Talks
I've started watching these on the Science Channel and been pleasantly surprised. Most are good, a few are awesome.
Anyone else seen this series?

I've seen a half dozen TED lectures that members have posted here at ACG. All were excellent.
If you come across one worth sharing, hopefully you'll post it here.

I watch them every chance I get and record them to make sure I don't miss any. Fascinating stuff.

The powered exoskeleton for paralytics was excellent.

Also the guy who cured phantom-limb pain patients with a three dollar drug store mirror. That just blew me away.
