This week's
TEDTALKTUESDAY is given by a man who, as the New York Times puts it, "(makes) a cottage industry out of being gadfly to a technology-obsessed world". Relentlessly bouncing from one subject to the next, this astronomer turned computer security expert turned eighth-grade-physics teacher- a sort of real-life Emmett Brown- embodies the concept of the restless mind.
Enjoy!

Eighteen Minutes with an Agile Mind (video runtime: 17:50)
Clifford StollWiki bioAbout this Talk
Clifford Stoll could talk about the atmosphere of Jupiter. Or hunting KGB hackers. Or Klein bottles, computers in classrooms, the future. But he's not going to. Which is fine, because it would be criminal to confine a man with interests as multifarious as Stoll's to give a talk on any one topic. Instead, he simply captivates his audience with a wildly energetic sprinkling of anecdotes, observations, asides -- and even a science experiment. After all, by his own definition, he's a scientist: "Once I do something, I want to do something else."
