TED

A few months ago I discovered something called TED,this is a platform where interesting people are invited to come on stage and give short, yet mostly interesting presentations. These presentations cover an enourmous breadth of issues that are socially, politically, financially or environmentally important.  TED themselves run with the tagline of “Ideas worth sharing”

These presentations are all recorded and are made available on the internet, they are also available in iTunes as well. I can promise that theses presentations can be absolutely fascinating, although some of them can be just a little bit batty as well. Some of them are also quite funny. Here is one  I loved from the advertising ‘guru’ Rory Sutherland , it’s well worth the effort of watching it.

Tuesday was an interesting day for my (rather expensive) MacBook Pro. It was treated to its first cup of coffee, and got a blow dry to boot! Luckily it survived this whole experience, but even if it hadn’t I knew that all my data that is actually important to me was safe. Not just because I happened to have  a back up from 48 hours before but because I had a backup from 2 seconds before Mac decided to drink coffee. How you may ask? Well its all thanks to Sugarsync.

It is well worth using these guys as they are price competitive and provide in my opinion a great service.

By the way if you decide to use or even try them then please let me know your email address so that I can refer you, as Sugarsync also reward you with more storage for references.
