Hans Rosling at TED last year on global development

Having coffee with AliB and discussing lecturing reminded me of one of the best presentations I've ever seen: Hans Rosling at TED and debunking myths about the developing world.
Even if you're not interested in the subject, it's worth checking out just to see how cool his presentation of otherwise rather boring statistics is. His company, Gapminder also got bought by Google a few weeks ago, so chances are Analytics will get more interesting soon.
Just as an aside, I read Presentation Zen fairly regularly, which picks up on great presenters and videos of their performances. http://www.presentationzen.com/
Worth sticking on an RSS reading list.
