A great idea from Mitchell Joachim. Not sure meat houses are ready for the pub­lic, but grow­ing wooden houses from veget­a­tion is a rad­ical and bril­liant solu­tion to ecologically-friendly communities.

Tactile Computing

Every now and then someone at TED presents a tech­no­logy or an idea that’s so utterly amaz­ing, or ridicu­lously simple that it can’t help but change the world. David Merrill shows off an MIT pro­ject called Siftables in this talk, and even though I’ve been mess­ing around with com­put­ing for 25 years my jaw is still drag­ging along the floor.

Thinking About Genius

Elizabeth Gilbert wrote the 2006 best seller Eat, Pray, Love, and in this year’s TED talks gave a fant­astic talk on the nature of cre­at­ive genius. In a room full of sci­ent­ists, this talk on being pos­sessed by a cre­at­ive muse, a spirit of genius, raised a stand­ing ova­tion. This utterly enthralling talk is an inter­est­ing per­spect­ive on creativity.
