I’m lucky enough to travel toBrazil for TEDGlobal, and will be taking a bit of extra time to visit Floripa where I hear is full of beaches and life, Rio where TED will be held, and then a quick visit to San Paulo which I hear is the NYC of Brazil and I can finally look into a post I had about A City Without Ads.
My exact plans are a bit unplanned even though heading over in a week, but after the jump I’ll provide a useful list of links my friend from Brazil provided…
If your in the know for something to do in Brazil, let me know.
This inspirational talk has a special place for me since I live in Boston and also captured the alarming global news during the marathon…. watch this talk to get awed in tech and surprised by a guest appearance.
This was one of the more alarming thought provoking talks this year…. imagine if this were true…parasites partiallycontrol the human brain!

Awesome talk by astronaut Chris Hadfield about doing something that scares you…
Some nifty crafty boxes to make for some magical box tumbling…. I wonder if it would be an interesting shelf =)
I might have to give this the best and efficient means of marketing budget for an amazing outcome. Many copy cats to follow.

A few images mirrored after the jump.

Imagine one day watching a video online, and seeing yourself, but it’s not yourself…. not too odd yet. Then you see yourself again and realize, this person looks a lot like me. Then fast forward a few months and realize you and that other person have a lot in common….only to find out later on, you two are actual twins separated at adoption.
Intriguing documentary about this rather odd, happy,

This is one bizarre, fascinating science phenomenon. Get yourself a long set of beads, put it in some container, drop it off, and watch the top form some floating magical science oddity…. no magic, just science. Anyhow, I bought myself a set and it works just like the video…. some might think its the beads themselves, but plain rope apparently works as well. If you do try this, a bit of a secret is the higher up you are, the higher up the arch goes.
