I don't have a top five (but I'm definitely going to check out yours!) but my favourite TED Talk so far has been Jill Bolte Taylor, the neuro-scientist who studied her own mind as she was having a stroke. I blogged a bit about it here:

Sue and Mark you both point out excellent shows! I think TED is easily one of the greatest examples of community on the web today and how social media is changing the way we live, work, and play. Exciting times!

Mark Hurst of Creative Good also runs the Gel conference – you can see the videos here: http://www.gelconference.com/videos.php

Therein lies the problem. I could have easily included Jill Bolte Taylor in my own list.

Jeff... I published a two-part interview I did with Sir Ken Robinson on my Electric Sky podcast last fall. You can find both parts by clicking here.

Sir Ken Robinson is one of my favorite’s as well Mark. A brilliant discussion on how our educational systems in North America are killing the creative process.

Another favorite of mine is Larry Lessig’s talk on copy write in the Information Age. A valuable show for all those Social Media professionals: http://www.iaconsultants.ca/index.php/2008/01/13/how-creativity-is-being-strangled-by-the-law/
