I saw her TedTalks video on YouTube (first video I ever favorited). I don't feel like scrolling through the whole list; are there any other authors on TedTalks?

There's a few, but the AtGoogleTalks speeches are better. Just YouTube "authors@google"

I was just watching Randall Munroe's talk at Google Talks

As for a good TED video: I really liked Sir Ken Robinson's talk on education destroying creativity.

Also, moot did a TED talk. It's kind of sad, but short and worth watching.
