I really enjoyed this talk. I've experienced pretty much every part of what she talks about. It's why I feel compelled to always have a writing instrument with me, I have to catch the ideas before they get away. Maybe I'm worrying too much about it.

I have been devouring TED over the past 2 weeks...
Enjoyed that. Thanks-
The portion of the video when she talks about Tom Waits receiving song ideas whilst driving reminds me of this radio interview with Chris Cornell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KHUmiK53wQ.
Notable lines:
Announcer: "Do you ever scribble song ideas on napkins ?"
Cornell: "This is a bad thing to admit, but I use my blackberry now. Right now it has today's stock quotes on it."
Announcer: "That's not the Chris Cornell I want to imagine. How are your stocks doing by the way ?"
Cornell: "I don't know, I just look at the overall picture like oil's down three percent, which is good, that's a good thing."
Radio Announcer: "I love that we're getting our financial headlines from Chris Cornell."
Cornell: "I go to Blackberry because it has the little memo section[...]it comes in really handy if you're on an airplane or something. [...] I wrote the song 'Black Hole Sun' [...] while driving in the middle of the night and I kind of had to race home and sort of teach it to myself on guitar so I wouldn't forget it. So, this stupid Blackberry thing comes in handy because if I get an idea in the car first I pull over...
Announcer: "It's illegal to write lyrics now while driving."
Cornell: "That guy's writing a song !"
