For those who spend a lot of time on social media or the web in general these videos will be old news. But for those of you who haven't found TED.com this will be a great post.

Every now and then I need inspiration. I love big ideas and love to hear people who are passionate about solving big problems or breaking new frontiers. I've picked my top videos from TED so you can watch them and see what I'm talking about.

Sit back and enjoy - you may find that couple of hours will have passed by the time you finish looking at this site. Visit www.ted.com and let your imagination fly. You can also follow TED on linkedin and twitter.

A personal goal for me would be to be invited to give a talk at this conference. I have a huge amount of respect for many of the people who speak and give great performances at this conference.
