Love this song. Was just listening and thought I'd share.

The new exploration

Here's a really great TED talk from Nathan Wolfe, the biologist and explorer, in which he asks and answers the question: What should we explore?
"I think that there's a sense that many of us have that the great age of exploration here on earth is over," he says. "That for the next generation they're going to have to go to outer space or the deepest oceans in order to find something significant to explore. But is that really the case?"
No, he answers. The majority of life on earth is unexplored. It's the life we can't see.
Here's how TED describes Wolfe:

Using genetic sequencing, needle-haystack research, and dogged persistence (crucial to getting spoilage-susceptible samples through the jungle and to the lab), Nathan Wolfe has proven what was science-fiction conjecture only a few decades ago -- not only do viruses jump from animals to humans, but they do so all the time. Along the way Wolfe has discovered several new viruses, and is poised to discover many more.

And what he has to say is something I want my kids to know as they grow and look for their own future careers. "We may uncover a completely new class of life," Wolfe says. How cool is that?

Zuckerberg: Callow Kid or Super Genius CEO?

I'm fascinated by how Mark Zuckerberg has been able to build a company that will likely approach $100 billion in value. Is it all smoke and mirrors or is Facebook really that valuable?

Funding Flows to Water Tech Firm

Is a low-energy solution to water shortages an idea worth investing in? Some of the top venture capitalists and companies in the world seem to think so. Khosla Ventures, BASF and others have poured $60.5 million into NanoH2O, which is selling a desalination system the company claims uses 20 percent less energy to operate than others. Seems like a good idea.
