Adrian McEwen, a fan of the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Conference, took it upon himself to put together a DVD of some of his favorite TED talks. Since more than 200 TED talks are available under a Creative Commons license, Adrian was free to do so, and we think that’s way cool.

Adrian’s goal was to make the talks more accessible to a non-geeky audience. A Taste of TED on DVD was just launched a couple of days ago, and given the way that torrents work, you’ll want to jump on the bandwagon sooner rather than later. I’ll hereby commit to seeding it for at least a week.

What’s more, Adrian remembered to make both an NTSC and a PAL version. It’s important to acknowledge your international audience.

“Let the wiki win” is what the man said by way of announcing the wiki dedicated to himself.

It’s this kind of brief geeky poetry which has garnered him such a large, dedicated following. Not only was it smart for the “geek rocker” to create a wiki (most of his fans have been taking an active role in making him famous for years, already), but because he understands his audience, he made a Star Wars pun to get their attention. Bravo.
