You know about
TED, but do you know about the
WGBH Forum Network? A project of the venerable Boston
public TV station, the Forum is a web platform which aggregates lectures from cultural institutions, museums, libraries, bookstores, and colleges across the US - everything from current research in social science and hard science to author and poet talks. Presentations vary in topic, length, format, and level of eggheadiness, but if you love ideas, you'll find some good stuff here. Streams on demand, downloads often available if you register.

Remember when folks were "up-in-arms" after learning that the Bush administration
paid prominent political commentator
Armstrong Williams $240,000 to promote 'No Child Left Behind' legislation? It turns out that a handful of liberal bloggers
pulled in some decent cash this past year from various political campaigns as consultants, while maintaining their "independent" blogs. Case in point:
Jerome Armstrong (
MyDD) made $115,000+ from Sherrod Brown (over 15 months) and $65,000 from Mark Warner (over 12 months). Turns out Armstrong
admitted this week that he has been writing on his blog under various aliases -- including 'Scott Shields.' 'Shields'
received payments from the Robert Menendez campaign.
