TED Global 2014: RIO
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.
Hugh Herr: The new bionics that let us run, climb and dance
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.
Ed Yong: Suicidal crickets, zombie roaches and other parasite tales
This was one of the more alarming thought provoking talks this year…. imagine if this were true…parasites partiallycontrol the human brain!

Chris Hadfield: What I learned from going blind in space
Awesome talk by astronaut Chris Hadfield about doing something that scares you…
Hipster Logo Template
Pretty simple template to make your own Hipster Logo.
Reminds me of the “hipster branding” tumblr feed.
Danielle Evans: Food Typography
DHL: Trojan Mailing
I might have to give this the best and efficient means of marketing budget for an amazing outcome. Many copy cats to follow.
I do recall way back in college, I had to cover up the FREE FEDEX box logo when I shipped via UPS.
Klemens Torggler: Evolution Door
Neat. Pivoting door. I somewhat want one, but also am not sure if I want one.
Designer Klemens Torggler has several more design on his site … check them out.
Alex John Beck: Both Sides Of
Photographer Alex John Beck takes photos of your face, then mirrors them to see how different they are… It’s pretty radical to see how different your 2 halves are, and how the two make you unique. Stunning project.
A few images mirrored after the jump.
