+1... My favorite talk thus far. Amazing content, from an amazing man.

The talk done by Clifford Stoll was probably the most amusing however.

That was a good one. Although watching him rave about fungi, I couldn't shake the feeling that if it came down to survival of nature with Fungi at the top, or humanity without fungi, he'd pick fungi every time....is it just me? He's definitely passionate! =)

+1. Also my favorite. Though at a close second is Deborah Gordon's talk on ants. It's amazing:
