TED

We all have our favorite hangouts on the web like Facebook or Hulu.  I found another place I like to visit frequently for video content - TED.  TED.com has new "talks" every week limited to an easy 18 minutes in length.  Although largely left leaning politically and ideologically, there are lots of fascinating subjects covered that are more up-to-date than anything else on the net.  You'll hear from the scientists and other pioneers as they open their worlds to us.  There is even a special section for those like myself who want to discuss religion.  If your a life long student and want to keep up with the latest in a wide variety of research, I highly recommend visiting TED.
