[Jim Workman]

This looks great.  Does anyone know how to get mp3 versions (podcasts) of
the talks?

  I also visited the site.  I had never heard of it.  I saw something about
poverty and went to the Bill Strickland presentation.
  Bill Strickland: Rebuilding America, one slide show at a time

  Thanks Chris.  I've bookmarked it.

    "right now", there is an item on that page labelled "ideas from our
    sponsor" which when clicked brings up a standalone window to play the
    video.  The discussion is about hydrogen as a fuel and what "we" [as a
    world] have to do to make it's use a reality.  Unfortunately, the "link"
    is

    http://www.ted.com/#

    Which you'll note is actually the main page itself -- doing a little
    digging into the page source, I found:

    http://static.videoegg.com/ted/movies/KLAUSTOPFER_high.flv

    And

    http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/fullscreen.html, which should load
    the player along with the video...

    As it is a "sponsored" video, the last minute or so is a BMW ad for
    their hydrogen car, which is a typical car advert -- great scenery, zero
    information save for the name of the car itself...
