Mr. Condom
I happened upon this TED Talk through the Melinda Gates talk on contraception. Gates was studied and sober, and made her case well, explaining how she was spending some of her billions on family planning. This guy, on the other hand, went the “cheap and cheerful” route, and has (it seems) singlehandedly and quite quickly [...]
Homemade Homes
These hand-built homes always inspire me. Shame I’m mechanically inept. (I’ve had a friend bar me from ever assembling Ikea furniture without his assistance.) He also said this about tools he used: “Main tools used: chainsaw, hammer and 1 inch chisel, little else really. Oh and by the way I am not a builder or [...]
Earth, Lapsed

This is a list of the largest living organisms, from the Great Barrier Reef to tiny insects, with every taxonomic category in between. Fascinating stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_organism
TED Talk: Tierney Thys’ Sunfish
This is a prototypical TED Talk: Fun, funny, interesting and informative. The Giant Sunfish is lucky to have someone like Tierney Thys looking out for it.

Replace Lanting’s Dutch “uptalk?” with James Earl Jones or David Attenborough, and this could easily be the next BBC documentary blockbuster.
Mike deGruy: Hooked by an octopus | Video on TED.com
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/mike_degruy_hooked_by_octopus.htmlMike deGruy’s TED talk about octopods and the preservation of our oceans is very engaging. (NB Future marine biologists: having a huge shark bite visible on your arm lends credulity, as well as making you look like a total badass.)
