Tom Rielly: A comic send-up of TED2006 http://www.ted.com Satirist Tom Rielly delivers a wicked parody of the 2006 TED conference, taking down the $100 laptop, the plight of the polar bear, and people who mention, one too many times, that they work at Harvard. Watch for a very special moment between Tom and Al Gore. Impossible to summarize, pointless to explain, ladies and gentlemen, Tom Rielly ...

Rives: A mockingbird remix of TED2006 http://www.ted.com The bird is the word, and everyone gets heard, as Rives recaps the most memorable moments of TED2006, with a fantastical Mockingbird lullaby. Mixing the personal with the universal in free-spirited rhyming verse, he imagines using mockingbirds to redistribute the world's underappreciated sounds. "They listen and mimic and remix what they like / they rock the mic." The magic of this piece is best appreciated after watching a range of talks from TED2006. Tags: ted tedtalks rives poet |

Jill Sobule: A happy song about global warming http://www.ted.com Like nearly everyone at TED2006, Jill Sobule was stirred by Al Gore's spectacular speech on the clear and present danger of climate change. The time for action is now, Jill thought. And so she wrote a song.
