TED Talks, you are the bomb-dot-com. Listening to TED is sort of like going to a 10A, except on average, the lectures are about 20 minutes long. And you get to choose the subject. Plus if you don't like the video, you can click on a new one(kind of like MTV's Next). And you can sort the videos by most watched, most emailed, etc. - so you can be lazy if you don't want to spend the time searching. Also if you fall asleep to it (like I normally do since I listen to most of the talks at night), no one will test you on what you missed. Win - win!
If you've never been to TED, it's definitely worth following regularly for more riveting talks by remarkable people. Check out a video recently filmed at Dartmouth above or browse the site to choose your own. May I recommend Adora Svitak: What adults can learn from kids or Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity.
