ted, ken, gaga

fell into a ted talks wormhole (which is the very best kind of wormhole, IMO) and found this amazing talk by dan barber. it's twenty minutes, it's funny and enlightening and you should watch: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_barber_how_i_fell_in_love_with_a_fish.html

 

and ken jennings has a really pretty amazing AMA on reddit that references charlie sheen (and is funny) and blade runner and what not to wear on jeopardy (a sweater, "you'll look like a tool") and old lavendar-scented ladies, what topics he's bad at ("I remember COUNTRY MUSIC kept showing up. That or HOCKEY. Least favorite categories. Basically anything with a mullet is my Jeopardy kryptonite") and various other kind of awesomeness. if i were into married men i'd want to jump all over ken jennings. even though he's mormon.

 

i watched this thing all the way through and then even teared up at the end. feeling sentimental today, i guess. i do, really really like lady gaga.
