TED2008 – Crows are very smart.
February 29, 2008
Crows are very smart. Research shows that crows learn from peers and they developed cultural adaptation. In fact the problems we are studying in the world today Crows experience today. Very smart and they teach each other.

TED2008 – Econol
February 29, 2008Paul Stamets who is a mycologist (fungi researcher). During his presentation he presented that we’re more closely related to fungi than any other kingdom. The sequence of microbes on rotting mushrooms are essential to the forests of the world.
A very interesting solution which he developed consisted of infused burlap bags filled with natural material and mycelium. These would then be placed in drainage areas near or on farms to reduce presence of E. coli in runoff.
The research hasn’t ended and now we are seeing treatments for viruses using rare fungi only found in old growth forest. He’s even using mycelium as pest control which is pretty cool. (Check out the Video when it gets on TED)
Even better he believes generating cellulose from mycelium to create a fuel known as ECONOL

Visualization to build relationships via a powerful user interface and we can’t forget the Potenko Generator is wicked cool as well as the AMD Open Architecture. The Wish on News Photography is making headway. September there should be an update.
Dave Eggers
How can we give each student 1 hour a week 1 on 1 attention? Working on whatever we are working on and then stop when the kids came in and tutor. Even funnier was operating a business and tutoring company behind a Pirate Supplier Store. The best was the .com auction and 11 G4′s. If you are on Valencia Street kids run to get tutored there.
