From TED: Qi Zhang, Electrifying Organist
By A | June 19, 2009
I am a MASSIVE TED Conference fan. They deliver on the promise of their tagline: “Remarkable people. Unmissable Talks.”
From the TED website: “Organ virtuoso Qi Zhang plays her electric rendering of “Ridiculous Fellows” from Prokofiev’s “The Love for Three Oranges” orchestral suite. This exhilarating performance from TEDx USC features the Yamaha Electone Stagea, a rare, imported instrument specially programmed by Qi herself.”

Atlas Obscura
A compendium of the globe’s greatest oddities
Atlas Obscura is a collaboratively edited encyclopedia of the world’s most curiously wondrous places.
It’s a guide for offbeat travels. The Atlas collects articles on the oddest attractions around the globe, with categories including Outsider Architecture, Amazing Automata, Catacombs, Crypts, & Cemetaries, Bioluminescent Spots, and Ghost Towns.
New finds are welcome. The site is a group effort. Visitors are encouraged to add to the Atlas, edit existing entries, share photos, and comment on the places they’ve experienced.
Explore the wonders in person. Atlas Obscura is beginning to coordinate day and weekend tours full of offbeat locales and hidden esoterica. Up first is a quirky ramble through Philadelphia.
Explore the site, marvel at Turkmenistan’s Gates of Hell crater, gape at the Iceland Phallological Museum, add a curious place to the Atlas, and sign up for updates on future tours.
