Look, it’s Friday. You’re probably not going to be that productive anyway, so you might as well waste your time on something enlightening. Toronto’s TEDxTalks are being broadcast online today from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and there are some big names and big ideas that are worth a listen. Up first was wunderkind Bilaal Rajan, who we profiled saving the world two years ago. National Ballet School CEO Jeff Melanson, whom you may remember from his brief stint as arts and culture advisor to Rob Ford, talks at 4:50 p.m. And if you’re feeling a touch nostalgic, David Miller is the last speaker on the schedule. Of course, there are plenty of other talks from plenty of other influential Torontonians throughout the day. Watch online [TEDxToronto] »
