So how does The Generalist get to be, and stay a Generalist?

Well, it helps to cast one's net far and wide in search in interesting people and interesting issues.  Dave (the Dave from Re: Conversations with Dave) introduced me to TED Talks available through iTunes as well as through TED. 

TED Talks equal far, wide, and interesting -- just what the doctor ordered.  A few that have caught my attention are: 

E.O. Wilson on saving life on Earth

 

Julia Sweeney on letting go of God

 

Sirena Huang dazzles on violin

 

Tony Robbins asks why we do what we do

 

Anna Deavere Smith's American character

 

Janine Benyus shares nature's designs

 

Jennifer Lin improvs piano magic

Just a few of the many that found their way into my iPod, then into my thought.  Good stuff and worth the time.
