Today's videos were about a frog that had fangs which was found as a new species and a new fish called a jelly nose that was found floating around the surface of the water. The jelly nose wasn't often seen because they dwell at depths of 1000ft in the water and rarely come out to the surface. They have been found before but this one they found might be a new species of jelly noses. The third video was about a new born baby elephant that was just playing around and jumping up and down around its mother and following its mother showing how a new born elephant should behave like.

Todays videos i saw were mostly about different species of animals that are abnormal or interesting in their own special way. The first video was about a baby chimpanzee that was with his mother and playing around on a tree swinging around. The second video was about turtles who got protection from the military because their eggs were always stolen by people and animals for food. The olive turtles are now endangered because of this and so the military had ti scare away any poachers that were trying to steal the eggs.

Today my dad told me to start watching videos from National Geography instead of TED. He also said i would have to watch 10 minutes worth of National Geographic videos so the first video i saw was about a red panda that was abandoned by its mother and raised up by zoo keepers and scientists who named the red panda Bandy. The panda had a sickness that was life threatening but he got through it and lived a happy life. The second video talked about a person trying to photograph and entire red wood tree which was surprisingly never done before. The tree was so high that no one could take a whole picture of it and so this man tried to do it. The third video talked about how one man was looking at the moon with a telescope and found traces of water all over the moon. The fourth video was about Teotihuacan which was a pyramid like building that no one knew who built so they talked about that mystery.

Todays TED video was about Tim Glave and technology in general. He said we are who we are because we evolved. We also made electronic devices such as computers and TV and iPods when we evolved and we wouldn't be here today if we did everything like we did in the past. We would not have survived 2010 because we would have had to adapt to the difference from 1910 to 2010.

Todays TED video talked about Vishal Vaid and his band who play a traditional South Asian musical. I wouldn't have chosen this video to blog about if it didn't sound so hypnotic which was the point of the song. It almost made me fall asleep with it musical charm and because of all the different instruments used.

Todays TED was about Taryn Simon who talked about some of her photograph of restricted places that's hidden from the world and criminals sent to jail for a crime they did not commit. She said these pictures say a story just by themselves and that they were never seen before. The pictures were really cool and and the ones about the men who went to jail for no crime, those were really sad and you could see the tears down their faces and the sadness they feel.

Today's TED video was about Oliver Salks and how he looked deeper into what causes hallucination and what it really is because he said that none really found out what it was and what caused it. He said when he looked deeper into hallucination, he found out about an old lady who was turned blind in the past 5 years and but one day she started seeing things but not normal things, she said she saw people in South Africa and cats and dogs walked towards her and a building encased by snow. He said he hasn't found out what caused it and what really happens when a person hallucinates but he would look into it.

Bjarke Ingels was the man in today's TED talk video. He was a Danish Architect who wanted to make comic book architecture the ones that looked really out there but were only seen in comic books. He made many notes and worked on his idea and goal and then he made a blue print and made it. He said the building was really cool and it became a site seeing place. He said after that building he saw a lot of other buildings that were really cool, then some Chinese people invited him to make them a cool building because there were too many boring skyscrapers in Shaihai.

Today's TED video talked about Rebbecca Saxe and her curiosity for reading other peoples minds. She says that we all know that other people have minds like ourselves but it sometimes doesn't seem like it, she said that we cant read other people minds yet then again we know how they feel because it shows on their faces and by the way they do things. She said because she is a teacher she wants to know what her students are thinking and how they feel to the work she gives them and such.

Today's TED video was about Lewis Pugh and his swim across the North pole which is -1.7 degrees. He said he was very scared but he knew he had to do it because climate change was happening and by doing this swim he could tell people about it. He said the water was so cold he thought he got frost bite and would have to cut off his fingers but he made it and he was the first person to do a 1km swim across the North Pole. I would be very scared because i hate water and who knows what lurks in North Pole waters?

Todays TED talk was spoken by Vik Muniz who talked about creations. He said all creations started with creativity, then he went on and showed some of his creations. He was a very creative person, he used an airplane to draw lines in the sky to make a cartoon cloud. He also used sugar, dust and chocolate to make portraits of people. He even used spaghetti to make a persons face. The most interesting thing he did that i was most impressed by was when he drew gigantic pictures on top of mountains. Though the pictures were simple from a pair of scissors to a envelope, it wouldn't be easy to draw it on a gigantic mountain top and when you can't really see your drawing as a whole.

Today's video was about a stunt man who wanted to jump from 120,000 feet in space. He said that the highest jump recorded so far was 100,000 feet in 1960 and so he wanted to jump from the edge of space. He said being a stunt man is actually really safe and fun. He showed some videos of him jumping off buildings with nothing on but his clothes and a video when he was on fire with a fire proof suit but no mask. He said that technology today was way more advanced then the old age and he used these new technologies to make his stunts more safe then before because in 1960 they had no safety precautions and if you wanted to do a stunt, you would be putting your life on the line he said his favorite hero was the guy who jumped from 100,000 feet and they even talked about his attempt to jump from 120,000 feet.

When it got published he tried to sell it to a bunch of companies and was successful and so he kept at what he was doign and became very successful.

Todays TED video talked about John silver who was a man that had poor vision and seeked out to find a pair of glasses that fit him. HE found out that many people needed glass4es but there weren't a lot of optometrists in the world so not everyone can get the glasses they need. John silver made a special pair of glasses that you could adjust to your liking and he said he would sell these glasses so everyone can get glasses because in Russia there is only 1 optometrist for every 8 million people so imagine how hard that would be for the optometrist.
