I just posted a mammoth treatise on, well, me... so I'm going to keep this one short, and about someone else. On Monday and Tuesday of this week, Bonnier Media University hosted 300 of the brightest and best Bonnier employees from around the world for a special conference called GRID, which I mentioned a couple times in passing in my first few posts. The meeting was inspired by the famous TED conferences held in the U.S. each year, in which luminaries from all different disciplines and schools of thought get together to share ideas. Well, we had some pretty fantastic speakers at our conference, one of whom really stood out for me. Hans Rosling is a Swedish professor of public health, who specializes in gathering statistics about world populations and comparing them. Sounds boring, right? WRONG. For your education and entertainment, I'm embedding a video of the presentation he gave this year at both TED and GRID. Please try to find the 20 minutes to watch it: you'll be glad you did.
