If you can figure out what jingle those random words go with, I'll give you a cookie.
Finally, it's Friday. It wasn't a stressful week, it was just a week that I wanted to be over. Meh, whatever.
My brother made it into Nine! Way to carry on the Olsen name, broha!
What else. OH! Tonight at 8/7c on ABC Jamie Oliver (from The Naked Chef) is starting a new series called Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. Oliver was 2010's TED prize winner.
"The TED Prize is designed to leverage the TED community’s exceptional array of talent and resources. It is awarded annually to an exceptional individuals who receives $100,000 and, much more important, “One Wish to Change the World.” After several months of preparation, they unveil their wish at an award ceremony held during the TED Conference. These wishes have led to collaborative initiatives with far-reaching impact."
If you don't know what 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 TED Conference, held annually in the spring, is the heart of TED. More than a thousand people now attend, the event sells out a year in advance, and the content has expanded to include science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world. Over four days, 50 speakers each take an 18-minute slot, and there are many shorter pieces of content, including music, performance and comedy. There are no breakout groups. Everyone shares the same experience. It shouldn’t work, but it does. It works because all of knowledge is connected. Every so often it makes sense to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living, and ascend to a 30,000-foot view, where we see, to our astonishment, an intricately interconnected whole."
It is a phenomenal website that everyone should check out. The talks on this website ( TED.com ) are inspiring. I hope to go to at least one of these talks one day. Tickets cost $700 a piece (and you have to pay to get out there) but with that $700 the TED community can afford to put all of the talks that the rich, elite people get to see online for us common folk who just enjoy pure knowledge. Love it. It's a great idea and an even greater cause.

Well that's all I got for now. I will talk about a super fun late night walk I took on Tuesday but it will be a separate post cuz no one wants to read THAT much information in one post.
