Wow, that is a nice site and something I'll be hanging around from now on. The TED Conferenceis a gift to this planet at this time and place in our development. I sure wish it happened 40 years ago as it seems that now so many problems are being addressed on a triage level instead of intelligent planning. Watch all the TED talks! Each one gives a deep glimpse into the speaker's life of study. I have them playing in the background of my life quite often :) Be one of the 'crazy' people! Barry Cynaera,

There are a lot of people who, if cloned and handed out, could make the world a peaceful place. I just finished watching The Raspyni Brothers, filmed in February of 2002 - posted at the TED website very recently. I'd never heard of you guys before, but after watching the video, you're on my list of people to watch/love/admire. What a wonderful performance! I laughed out loud (and that's no small feat - I don't laugh much these days...) Thank you for all you do - thank you for being an active part of TED. I really think that if enough "common people" put their heads together and combine their "crazy" ideas with other "common people" with "crazy" ideas, we can do what the idiotic bureaucrats can't do - bring a peaceable world, without hidden agendas or special-interest groups. Plus - besides being incredibly talented, you guys are hysterically funny, too! Thanks to Welly from www.radioparadise.com for sharing the link to www.TED.com, and subsequently, to you. My world has expanded... What a wonderful comment about Jill Sobule, Barry! There are a lot of people who, if cloned and handed out, could make the world a peaceful place.

The crowd here in Aspen stood and applauded and the last 3 minutes was simulcast to the conference meeting in Monterey, CA. One of the songs she did was about the searching online for the people you have slept with. It was so damn funny... the crowd was rolling. She ended with Mexican Wrestler and a did a few others up front which were brand new and she had a guy from the audience holding the words in front of her. She is a dear - a sweet soul which I wish could be duplicated and handed out by the millions around the world. Hey Vincent,

It's tough for her NOT to become your hero. She is so original, twisted and smart -- and very sweet. I've was a regular on her now defunct Yahoo blog. The laughs, the tears, the guy who told her "to start shovel coal in hell" and the grace in which Jill took it all was stunning. Please post on how her show went -- I know a whole posse of displaced blog reader who want to know! I also have to plug her next record site, in which she want fans to help her make her next record. http://www.jillsnextrecord.com/ I’m another “45 year old,” (okay not) “married guys following Jill Sobule’s career”.
