TED Talks for Interaction Designers

My friend Phi-Hong's design for the new TED site just launched. I've been enjoying some of the talks and have picked through a bunch that might be of interest to other interaction designers:

• Malcolm Gladwell's Spaghetti Talk explains better than I've ever heard why you should never design for everyone.
• Thom Mayne's talk on architecture contains some really interesting ideas about using outside influences to inform and inspire your designs.
• NYT's David Pogue riffs on simplicity and mixes in a few Broadway show tune parodies.
• Stefan Sagmeister shows how design can make you happy
• Tony Robbins tells us (and especially Al Gore!) Why We Do What We Do. If your project fails, it isn't about missing resources.

If there are others, let me know in the comments. More talks are added occasionally.
