Oh! My blog got it's 500th visitor last night :). Great big thanks to all my readers! I've been quite pleasantly surprised at how quickly I've got readers and visitors, especially since this one is only my 16th post.
Aiemmin esittelin mieleenpainuneimmat videoni TED.comista, tällä kertaa ajattelin jakaa muutaman erityisen viihdyttävän mutta silti mielenkiintoisia pointteja sisältävän videon.
Earlier, I shared my most memorable talks on TED.com, and this time I thought I'd share a few that are especially entertaining yet cover a lot of interesting points.
Rory Sutherland: Perspective is everything
Ensinnäkin, Rory Sutherlandin aksenttia kuuntelisin, vaikka hän puhuisi mistä. Toisekseen, hän maustaa puheensa nokkelalla huumorilla, ja kolmanneksi, hän puhuu oikeasti mielenkiintoisista asioista, joita soveltamalla elämän keskiarvoista ketutustasoa pystyisi varmasti laskemaan huomattavasti.
First of all, I'd listen to Rory Sutherland's accent no matter what he spoke of. Secondly, he spices up his talk with witty humour, and thirdly, he speaks of genuinely interesting things, which could and should be applied to real life more often to make it much less frelling annoying.

Chip Kidd: Designing books is no laughing matter. OK, it is.
Chipp Kidd on melko omalaatuinen hahmo, mutta kertoo kirjankansien suunnittelusta hauskasti ja kiehtovasti.
Chip Kidd is a rather peculiar character, but he talks about designing book covers in a funny and fascinating way.

Sheena Iyengar on the art of choosing
Another talk on psychology, a bit more serious than the first two, but it did make me laugh at my insanity a couple of times. Humans are funny creatures.
Douglas Adams: Parrots, the universe and everything
Suunnittelin kirjoittavani tämän postauksen jo eilen, mutta sitten löysin tämän videon ja ennen kuin huomasinkaan, kello lähenteli jo puoltayötä. Tämä ei ole TED:n itsensä tuottama video, mutta siksi varmaan en ollut siihen ennen törmännytkään. Jos pidät Douglas Adamsin huumorintajusta, olet kiinnostunut uhanalaisten eläinten suojelusta ja jos satut olemaan skeptikkokin, tähän puolitoistatuntiseen mahtuu monta helmeä. Maailmankaikkeuden käsikirjan liftareille faneille lopusta löytyy vielä pari herkullista kysymystä ja vastausta.
I had planned on writing this post yesterday evening, but then I found this video, and before I knew it, it was approaching midnight. This one isn't by TED, and that's probably the reason I haven't stumbled upon it earlier. If you like the sense of humour of Douglas Adams, are interested in preserving endangered species and happen to be a skeptic as well, there are quite a few gems in this one-and-a-half-hour video. The Q&A at the end also has a couple treats for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fans.
