TED (Technology + Entertainment + Design) is the coolest conference I know of. Unfortunately it is expensive and always sold out. Thanks to the hard work of many and the availability of broadband Internet, TED puts hundreds of videos of their speakers online.

This is the first best example of the democracy of ideas and the Democracy of the Internet. An example of the greatest good for humanity. I have not watched a TED speaker and not had my world completely rocked. Also TED’s new website is beautiful!

I’ve been working with a gallery generation application for Linux. This one is a duet between Google’s Picasa and SimpleViewer.

BumpTop 3D Desktop Prototype

BumpTop is a new and creative desktop prototype.

Watch it in action on YouTube.

It is going to be very tough to overcome the inertia associated with the current flat desktop paradigm. I’m most impressed by the “Lasso and cross” methods of managing documents. The little pigtail action for the pie menu is cool but I’ve seen this implemented in application via a right mouse click and I have to say that it takes some getting used to.

This tip passed to me via Richard Querin’s blog Renaissance Man.
