For those who don't know TED:
There's more info at their site.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.
The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 60 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.
Our mission: Spreading ideas.
We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. Over time, you'll see us add talks and performances from other events, and solicit submissions from you, as well. This site, launched April 2007, is an ever-evolving work in progress, and you're an important part of it. Have an idea? We want to hear from you.
For those trying to watch what they eat, there is the Calorie Counter Database from About.com. To access all the available tools, you'll need to create a free account.
There are a lot search options to choose from, making this an easy site to navigate. The wealth of information is staggering.
Now you have no reason not to keep a food log with accurate calorie information. And if you are trying to change your body in some way and you're not keeping a food log, start one today.
Finally, in the educational but fun category, there is Random FAQ, a site filled with all kinds of mostly useless information.
