What a fantastic lecture. If you haven't been to http://www.ted.com/, I highly recommend taking the day off, getting comfortable, and wasting the afternoon watching these amazing people talking about their passions.

If you can watch the videos at work, you're lucky- you can get paid to relax and expand your mind.

Enjoy! And comment on whether or not those illusions got you! I'd like to know.
