Howdy. Many of you who read my blog (and I assume that number is dwindling, given the frequency of my posting) know that I tend to go into hibernation in winter. True story. I do. And with the I've been doing, it's been worse (though the past couple of weeks I've been a little better about public appearances).
But it's spring: the sun is starting to not only come out, but stay out longer; birds are starting to migrate back to the area; and I guess grass is coming in soon (still waiting to see evidence of that, though).
This is supposed to be a time of renewal. In addition to the weight loss (roughly 28 pounds so far since the beginning of the year – official weigh-ins are in about an hour from this writing, so there will be more blogging this week), one of the things I've been doing is gleaning some knowledge and inspiration from talks.
The Technology, Entertainment and Design conferences draw the best and brightest speakers on all kinds of topics. One of my recent viewings is Mary Roach's talk on orgasms (above). Some other favorites include this and one by (not as in the abortion debate, but as in "which jeans do I buy?").
I can't say enough about TED as an education and personal growth tool. Catch up on some talks (here's a handy index ), learn a little, grow a little, and share your favorites.

One of my favorites is Michael Sandel’s “The Lost Art of Democratic Debate.”
Still waiting for more evidence of spring, too!
