TED is evolving, but Kenny still beats Spennys ass

When I first started watching TED-videos a couple of years ago, video on the net still felt sort of fresh. These days picture and sound in harmony isn't necessarily enough, but TED still feels crisp and delicious.



On the other half of the intelligent input vs. plain old entertainment, Kenny vs. Spenny has had a little revival in my world. After briefly introducing it to Axel, Matias and Paul a friday while having some beers, the flame was lit again. We saw four episodes and only made it downtown at 2 am or something. Very worth it.

What the world looks like

This thing is pretty interesting. Instead of showing the traditional world map or merely presenting statistics, this combination shows e.g. alcohol consumption worldwide by sizing up or down the square kilometers of each country.

I guess it's in line with what Hans Rosling talks about so passionately and examplifies in this TED Talk - how to make statistics more fun and easier to get excited about.
