TED | Technology, Entertainment, Design is a good site to visit to watch and hear some great ideas for our future. The site hosts a number of videos of well known and respected speakers (experts in their fields), on a variety of topics: some serious, some fun, and all very awe inspiring.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

Nice.

i have long advocated that local organisations explore the use of internet to drive the development of content in the country (that's because i am a tech geek and an entertainment junkie *grin*).

I found some good collection of Villeneuve racing videos at YouTube.

Check out some of the fantastic stuff there. The Villeneuve name was what first got me into F1 in the late 70s, when Gilles was wow-ing the F1 world with his daring driving.

His son Jacques came into F1 and almost won on his debut and clinched the world title in his second year in F1.

If you'd browse my World News feeds (look for it on the top menu) you'd find some news of my own selection. One interesting news is iPod selling a million videos in 20 days. This is perhaps an important piece of news for the likes of aspiring online media companies. Currently the you can buy & download music videos and TV series like "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost" for $1.99 a piece. Not sure how big the one million downloads is in relation to the size of the iPod market.
