I am with you brother! Too much to say, thanks for your great blog. What was that George Washington bust in your cabinet?
I recommend Captain Charles Moore's talk: Sailing The Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

Great site! (Dilemma sp)
TED is awesome! A lot of English teachers at our high school use it in the classroom. I haven't used it yet in my ancient history class, but I'm hoping to integrate it in next years curriculum.
Great list! I would add the biomimicry discussion by Janine Benyus.

The last speeches, need their URLs fixed. They all point to Alex Stephan... I am surprised nobody noticed... :\
Angello,
Thanks for the heads up. Not sure how that happened but it's fixed.
