TED 2008 Coverage: Recommended Reading

Okay, I admit it. I’ve been selfish. I’ve been shying away from live blogging this year at TED, and mostly been twittering overheards and interesting things throughout the conference– it’s a lot easier, and lets me truly focus on the brain safari that is the incredible TED experience.
If you’re dying for coverage as it happens (I certainly would be) here’s who is on the ball here:

Ethan Zuckerman has great coverage, as does Mark from BoingBoing— both are doing a fantastic job (yeah, disciplined bloggers!).

Still want more? Spend some time on the TED 2008 Flickr Stream, and of course, the official TED blog is always a good place to get involved…

Highlights from the conference so far that made me think:

Amy Tan talks about how, and more importantly why she writes.

Yves Behar speaks about the value of design from the inside out (go Jawbone contest, go!).

Irwin Redlener tells us how to survive a suitcase nuke in NYC, absolutely terrifying slideshow.

Robert Lang, the power (and mathematics) of Origami– and the real world applications. Check out his site and work, he was incredible!
