You know, when Chris first approached me to speak at TED, I said no,

I ved, da Chris første gang kom til mig for at tale ved TED, sagde jeg nej

because I felt like I wasn't going to be able

Fordi jeg følte ikke jeg ville være i stand

to make that personal connection, you know, that I wanted to.

til at lave den personlige forbindelse, i ved, som jeg ønskede.

It's such a large conference.

Det er en så stor konference.

But he explained to me that he was in a bind,

Men han forklarede mig, at han var i knibe,

and that he was having trouble finding the kind of sex appeal

han havde svært ved at finde den slags sex-appel

and star power that the conference was known for.

og stjerneglans, som konferencen var kendt for --

(Latter)

So I said fine, Ted -- I mean Chris.

Så jeg sagde fint, Ted -- Jeg mener Chris. Jeg vil komme på to betingelser.

I'll come on two conditions.

One: I want to speak as early in the morning as possible.

Et -- jeg vil tale så tidligt om morgenen som overhovedet muligt.

And two: I want to pick the theme for TED 2006.

og to -- jeg vil vælge temaet for TED 2006

And luckily he agreed.

Og heldigvis sagde han ja. OG temaet, om to år,

And the theme, in two years, is going to be "Cute Pictures Of Puppies."

bliver: "Nuttede billeder af hundehvalpe".

I invented the Placebo Camera.

Jeg opfandt Placebo-kameraet.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

It doesn't actually take pictures, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper,

Det tager ikke rigtigt billeder, men det er fandens meget billigere,

and you still feel like you were there.

og du føler det stadig som om du var der.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

(Clears his throat)

(Laughter)

"Dear Sir, good day, compliments of the day,

"Min herre, god dag, komplimenter for dagen og mine bedste ønsker

and my best wishes to you and family.

for dig og din familier. Jeg ved dette brev vil komme som en overraskelse,

(Breathes in)

I know this letter will come to you surprisingly,

but let it not be a surprise to you,

men lad det ikke blive en overraskelse for dig,

for nature has a way of arriving unannounced,

for naturen har en evne til at ankomme uanmeldt,

og, som mundheldet siger, er det svært at finde originaler,

and, as an adage says, originals are very hard to find,

but their echoes sound ouder.

men deres ekkoer lyder højere. Så jeg besluttede mig til selv at kontakte dig,

So I decided to contact you myself,

for you to assure me of safety and honesty,

så du kan forsikre mig om sikkerhed og ærlighed,

if I have to entrust any amount of money under your custody.

hvis jeg skal overlade et pengebeløb i din varetægt.

I am Mr Micheal Bangura, the son of late Mr Thaimu Bangura

Jeg er Hr. Michael Bangoora, søn af afdøde Hr. Tiamu Bangoora --

(Latter)

who was the Minister of Finance in Sierra Leone

som var Finansminister i Sierra Leone --

(Bifald)

but was killed during the civil war.

men blev dræbt i borgerkrigen.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Knowing your country to be economical conducive for investment,

Vel vidende, at dit land er økonomisk attraktiv for investeringer,

and your people as transparent and trustworthy to engage in business,

og dit folk er åbne og hæderlige i samhandel

on which premise I write you.

under hvilken forudsætning, jeg skriver til dig.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Before my father death,

Før min far´s død,

he had the sum of 23 million United States dollars,

havde han i alt 23 millioner United States Dollars,

which he kept away from the rebel leaders during the course of the war.

som han gemte for oprørslederne

igennem hele krigen.

(Latter)

(Laughter)

This fund was supposed to be used

Denne fond skulle bruges til

for the rehabilitation of water reserves all over the country,

rehabilitering af vandreserverne over hele landet,

before the outbreak of war.

før krigen brød ud. Da krigen brød ud,

When the war broke out,

krævede oprørslederen, at fonden skulle gives til ham,

the rebel leader demanded the fund be given to him,

min far insisterede på, den ikke var i hans besiddelse,

my father insisted it was not in his possession,

and he was killed because of his refusal to release the fund.

og han blev dræbt på grund af hans vægring mod at frigøre fonden.

Meanwhile, my mother and I

I mellemtiden, er min mor og jeg den eneste person, som ved noget om fonden.

is the only person who knows about it because my father always confide in me.

fordi min far altid betror sig til mig.

(Sighs)

I made an arrangement with a Red Cross relief worker,

Jeg lavede hurtigt en aftale med en Røde Kors nødhjælpsarbejder,

who used his official van to transport the money to Lungi Airport, Freetown,

som brugte sin officielle bil til at transportere pengene til Lungi Lufthavn, Freetown,

skønt han ikke kendte til indholdet i kassen.

although he did not know the real contents of the box.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Fonden blev deponeret som en familiereserve

The fund was deposited as a family reasure,

in a safe, reliable security company in Dakar, Senegal,

i et sikkert, pålideligt sikkerhedsfirma i Dakar, Senegal,

where I was only given temporary asylum.

hvor jeg modtog midlertidigt asyl.

I do not wish to invest the money in Senegal

Jeg ønske ikke at investere pengene i Senegal

due to unfavorable economic climate, and so close to my country.

på grund af ugunstigt økonomiske klima, og så tæt på mit hjemland.

The only assistance I need from you, which I know you would do for me,

Den eneste hjælp jeg behøver fra dig, hvilket jeg er sikker på du vil gøre for mig,

are the following: one, be a silent partner

er det følgende: et, vær en tavs partner

and receive the funds in your account in trust;

og modtag pengene på din konto i tillid;

two, provide a bank account under your control

to, stil en bankkonto under din kontrol til rådighed

to which the funds will be remitted;

hvortil pengene vil bliver overført;

three, receive the funds into your account in trust;

tre, modtag pengene på din konto i tillid,

take out your commission; and leave the rest of the money

udtag din kommission, og lad resten af pengene stå

until I arrive, after the transfer is complete.

indtil jeg ankommer, efter overførslen er fuldført.

Sincerely, Mr Micheal Bangura."

Med venlig hilsen, Mr. Michael Bangoora."

(Laughter)

(Latter)

(Applause)

(Bifald)

This is really embarrassing.

Dette er virkeligt pinligt.

I was told backstage that I have 18 minutes.

Jeg fik at vide, backstage, at jeg har 18 minutter.

I only prepared 15.

Jeg har kun forberedt 15.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

So if it's cool, I'd like to just wait for three.

Så hvis det er ok med jer, så vil jeg gerne lige vente i tre.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

(Laughter ends)

I'm really sorry.

Jeg er virkelig ked af det.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

(Applause)

(Bifald)

What's your name?

Hvad er dit navn?

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Mark Surfas.

Mark Serfass. Meget sejt, hva'?. Forfølger lykke.

It's pretty cool, huh? Pursuing happiness.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Are you a virgin? Virgin?

Er du jomfru? Jomfru?

(Latter)

I mean -- no, I mean like in the TED sense?

Jeg mener -- nej, jeg mener, TED-jomfru?

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Are you? Oh, yeah?

Er du? Oh, OK. Så hvad er du,

So what are you, like, a thousand, two thousand, somewhere in there?

noget i retning af 1.000, 2.000, noget i den retning? ?

Huh? Oh?

You don't know what I'm talking about?

Du ved ikke, hvad jeg taler om?

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Ah, Mark --

åh, Mark --

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Surfas.

Serfaas.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

1,860 -- am I good?

1.860 -- er jeg god?

(Latter)

And that's nothing to be ashamed of.

Og det er ikke noget at skamme sig over.

That's nothing to be ashamed of.

Det er ikke noget at skamme sig over.

(Applause)

(Bifald)

Yeah, I was hanging out with some Google guys last night.

Ser i, jeg hang ud med et par fyre fra Google i går aftes.

Really cool, we were getting wasted.

Virkelig cool, vi drak os stive.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And they were telling me that Google software has gotten so advanced

Og de fortalte mig, at Google's software er blevet så avanceret,

that, based on your interaction with Google over your lifetime,

at, baseret på din interaktion med Google gennem din livstid,

they can actually predict what you are going to say --

kan de faktisk forudsige hvad det næste du siger, er.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

next.

And I was like, "Get the fuck out of here. That's crazy."

Og jeg var ligesom: "Hold dog kæft mand, det er for vildt."

(Laughter)

(Latter)

But they said, "No, but don't show anyone."

Men de sagde "Nej, men vis det ikke til nogen", men de tog fejl.

But they slipped up.

And they said that I could just type in "What was I going to say next?"

Og så sagde de, at jeg bare kunne skrive hvad jeg det næste jeg ville sige ville være

and my name, and it would tell me.

og mit navn, og den ville fortælle mig det. Og jeg bliver nødt til at sige, lige nu,

And I have to tell you, this is an unadulterated piece of software,

dette er et stykke original software,

dette er en ægte internetbrowser, og dette er et ægte Google-site,

this is a real Internet browser and this is the actual Google site,

and we're going to test it out live today.

og vi skal afprøve det live i dag.

What was I going to say next?

Hvad er det næste, jeg vil sige? Og Ze Frank -- det er mig.

And "Ze Frank" -- that's me.

Am I feeling lucky?

Føler jeg mig heldig?

(Laughter)

(Latter)

(Shouting) Am I feeling lucky?

Føler jeg mig heldig?

Audience: Yes! Yeah!

Publikum: Ja.

(Sighs)

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Ze Frank: Oh! Amazing.

Ze Frank: Åh, fantastisk.

(Latter)

(Laughter)

In March of 2001 --

I marts 2001 --

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I filmed myself dancing to Madonna's "Justify My Love."

optog jeg mig selv dansende til Madonnas "Justify My Love"

On a Thursday, I sent out a link to a website that featured those clips

På en torsdag sendte jeg et link til et websted

som viste de klip til 17 af mine nærmeste venner,

to 17 of my closest friends,

as part of an invitation to my -- an invitation to my th --

som en del af min -- en invitation til min -- en invitation til min... --

th -- 26th birthday party.

... -- 26-års fødselsdagsfest.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

(Clears throat)

By Monday, over a million people were coming to this site a day.

Mandagen efter var der over en million besøgende

på det websted om dagen.

(Sighs)

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Within a week, I received a call from Earthlink that said,

Inden for en uge modtog jeg et opkald fra Earthlink, som sagde,

due to a 10 cents per megabyte overage charge,

at på grund af en 10 cent pr. megabyte overforbrugstakst,

I owed them 30,000 dollars.

skyldte jeg dem over 30.000 dollars.

(Laughter)

(latter)

Needless to say, I was able to leave my job.

Behøver jeg at sige, at jeg var i stand til at sige mit job op?

[WAS LAID OFF]

(Latter)

(Laughter)

And, finally, you know, become freelance.

Og endelig, du ved, blive freelancer.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

[UNEMPLOYED]

But some people refer to me more as, like, an Internet guru or --

Men nogle mennesker referer mere til som en -- som, en slags, en internet guru eller --

[JACKASS]

(Latter)

swami.

swami.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I knew I had something.

Jeg - Jeg vidste jeg havde fat i noget.

I'd basically distilled a very difficult-to-explain

Jeg havde basalt set distilleret en meget svært forklarbar

and complex philosophy, which I won't get into here,

og kompleks filosofi, som jeg ikke vil gå ind i her,

because it's a little too deep for all of you, but --

fordi det er en smule for dybt for jer alle sammen, men --

(Laughter)

(Latter)

It's about what makes websites popular, and, you know, it's --

det handler om, hvad der gøre websteder populærre, og, du ved, det er --

[DANCE LIKE AN IDIOT AND DON'T SELL ANYTHING]

(Latter)

It's unfortunate that I don't have more time.

Det er ærgeligt, at jeg ikke har mere tid.

Måske jeg kan komme tilbage næste år, eller noget i den retning.

Maybe I can come back next year, or something like that.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I'm obsessed with email. I get a lot of it.

Jeg er besat af email. Jeg får en masse af det.

Four years later, I still get probably two or three hundred emails a day

Fire år senere får jeg stadig 200 eller 300 emails om dagen

from people I don't know,

fra folk jeg ikke kender, og det har været en fantastisk mulighed

and it's been an amazing opportunity

to kind of get to know different cultures, you know?

for at lære forskellige kulturer at kende, i ved?

It's like a microscope to the rest of the world.

Det er som et mikroskop mod resten af verden.

You can kind of peer into other people's lives.

Du kan kigge ind i andre folks liv,

og jeg føler også, at jeg får en masse inspiration.

And I also feel like I get a lot of inspiration from the average user.

fra den gennemsnitlige bruger.

For example, somebody wrote, "Hey Ze, if you ever come to Boulder,

For eksempel var der nogle der skrev til mig.

De sagde: "Hey Ze, hvis du nogensinde kommer til Boulder,

you should rock out with us," and I said, "Why wait?"

så skulle du tage og rocke med os", og jeg sagde: "Hvorfor vente?"

[rocking out]

(Video) (Music)

And they said, "Hey Ze, thanks for rocking out,

Og de sagde: "Hey Ze, tak for at rocke med os,

but I meant the kind of rocking out where we'd be naked."

men jeg mente den slags rocken, hvor vi ville være nøgne."

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And that was embarrassing.

Og det var pinligt.

But you know, it's kind of a collaboration between me and the fans,

Men i ved, det er en slags samarbejde

mellem mig og fans´ene, så jeg sagde: "OK".

so I said, "Sure."

[rocking out naked]

(Latter)

(Video) (Music)

(Laughter)

I hear a lot of you whispering.

Jeg kan høre en masse af jer hviske.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And I know what you're saying,

Og jeg ved godt hvad I siger. I siger: "Hold da kæft,

"Holy crap!

How is his presentation so smooth?"

hvordan kan hans præsentation være så flydende?"

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And I have to say that it's not all me this year.

Og jeg må sige, at det ikke kun er mig i år.

I guess Chris has to take some credit here, because in years past,

Chris må også tage noget af æren, fordi i de tidligere år,

I guess there's been some sort of subpar speakers at TED.

har der vist været lidt underlødige talere ved TED. Jeg ved det ikke.

I don't know.

(Latter)

And so, this year, Chris sent us a TED conference simulator.

Så, i år sendte Chris os en TED Konference-simulator.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Which really allowed us as speakers to get there, in the trenches,

Hvilket virkelig gav os talere en mulighed for at opleve det, i skyttegravene,

and practice at home so that we would be ready for this experience.

og øve os derhjemme, så vi kunne blive klar til denne oplevelse.

And I've got to say that, you know, it's really, really great to be here.

Og jeg må sige, I ved, det er virkelig, virkelig godt at være her.

(Pre-recorded applause)

(Bifald)

I'd like to tell all of you a little joke.

Jeg vil gerne fortælle jer en lille vits. Ikke bare de gode bidder, dog.

(Pre-recorded applause and cheering)

Not just the good stuff, though.

You can do heckler mode.

Du kan gå i brokkemodus.

Voice: Hey, moron, get off the stage!

Stemme: Hej, idiot, skrid ud af scenen.

ZF: You get off the stage.

ZF: Du kan selv forsvinde fra scenen.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Voice: We want Malcolm Gladwell.

Stemme: Vi vil have Malcom Gladwell.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

(Baby cooing)

(Huge crowd applauding)

(Bifald)

In case you run over time.

I tilfælde af, at du går over tiden.

(Heroic music)

Just one last thing I'd like to say, I'd, really --

Jeg -- jeg har bare en sidste ting, jeg gerne vil nå at sige, Jeg vil virkelig --

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I'd like to thank all of you for being here.

gerne takke jer alle sammen for at være her.

(Loud music)

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And frog mode.

Og frøtilstand.

(Singing)

(Sings) "Ah, the first time that I made love to a rock shrimp --"

Ah, den første gang jeg elskede med en stenreje --

(Laughter)

(Latter

(Latter)

[Spam jokes are the new airplane jokes]

(Bifald)

(Sighs)

It's true.

Det er sandt. Nogle mennesker siger til mig,

Some people say to me,

de siger, Ze, du laver alle de her ting, de her internet-ting,

"Ze, you're doing all this stuff, this Internet stuff,

and you're not making any money."

og du tjener ingen penge.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

"Why?" And I say, "Mom, Dad --

Hvorfor? Og jeg svarer, "Mor, far --

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I'm trying."

Jeg prøver". Jeg ved ikke, om I er opmærksomme på det,

I don't know if you're all aware of this,

but the video game market,

men spil -- computerspilmarkedet,

kids are playing these video games,

børn spiller de her computerspil, oh,

but, supposedly, there's tons of money.

men, efter sigende, bliver der brugt bunkevis af penge.

I mean, like, I think, 100,000 dollars or so a year

Jeg mener, jeg tror der bliver brugt 100.000 dollars eller mere om året

is being spent on these things.

på de her ting. Så jeg besluttede mig for at prøve selv.

So I decided to try my hand.

Jeg fandt på nogle få spil.

I came up with a few games.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

This is called "Atheist."

Dette kalder jeg "Ateist".

I figured it would be popular with the young kids.

Jeg tænkte, at det ville være populært blandt de unge børn.

OK.

Se, jeg bevæger mig lidt rundt og siger lidt ting.

Look, I'll move around and say some things.

(Sighs)

[Game over. There is no replay.]

(Latter)

(Laughter)

(Bifald)

So that didn't go over so well.

Det solgte så ikke så godt.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I don't really understand why you're laughing.

Jeg forstår virkelig ikke, hvorfor I griner.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Should have done this before I tried to pitch it.

I skulle have gjort det, inden jeg prøvede at sælge det.

"Buddhist," of course, looks very, very similar to "Atheist."

"Budhist" ligner, naturligvis, "Ateist" meget.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

But you come back as a duck.

Men du kommer tilbage som en and.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And this is great because, you know, for a quarter,

Og det er fedt fordi, I ved, for en femmer,

you can play this for a long time.

kan man spille dette i lang tid.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And Chris had said in an email

Og Chris sagde i en email, I ved,

that we should really bring something new to TED,

at vi gerne skulle bringe noget nyt med til TED,

something that we haven't shown anyone.

noget, vi ikke har vist til nogen andre før.

Så jeg lavede dette til TED. Det er "Kristen".

So, I made this for TED. It's "Christian."

It's the third in the series.

Det er den tredje i serien.

I'm hoping it's going to do well this year.

Jeg håber den vil sælge godt i år.

(Sighs)

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Do you have a preference?

Har du en foretrukken? Godt valg.

(Laughter)

Good choice.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

So you can wait for the Second Coming,

Så kan du vente til genopstandelsen -- (Latter)

which is a random number between one and 500 million.

som er --

(Latter)

et tilfældigt numbber mellem et og 500 millioner.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

So really, what are we talking about here?

Hvad snakker vi egentlig om her. Jo, glæden ved teknologi.

Oh, tech joy.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Tech joy, to me, means something, because I get a lot of joy out of tech.

Glæden ved teknologi, for mig, betyder noget,

fordi jeg får en masse glæde ud af teknologi.

And in fact, making things using technology --

Og faktisk, at lave ting ved hjælp af teknologi --

and I'm being serious here,

og jeg mener det alvorligt, selvom jeg bruger min sarkastiske tone --

even though I'm using my sarcastic voice -- I won't -- hold on.

Jeg vil ikke -- vent lidt. At lave ting, I ved --

Making things, you know --

making things actually does give me a lot of joy.

At lave ting giver mig faktisk stor glæde.

It's the process of creation that keeps me

Det er den kreative proces der holder mig

sort of a bubble and a half above perpetual anxiety in my life,

en boble og en halv over evig angst i mit liv,

and it's that feeling of being about 80 percent complete on a project --

og det er følelsen af at være ca. 80 procent færdig med et projekt --

where you know you still have something to do,

hvor du ved, at du stadig har arbejde tilbage,

but it's not finished, and you're not starting something --

men det er ikke slut, og du er ikke ved at begynde på noget nyt --

that really fills my entire life.

der i virkeligheden fylder hele mit liv.

And so, what I've done is,

Og derfor, det jeg har gjort er, at jeg er begyndt at interesse mig for at

I started getting interested in creating online social spaces

skabe online sociale rum, hvor jeg kan dele den følelse

to share that feeling

with people who don't consider themselves artists.

med mennesker, som ikke anser dem selv for at være kunstnere.

We're in a culture of guru-ship.

Vi er i en kultur af gurudyrkelse. Det er så svært at bruge visse programmer

It's so hard to use some software because, you know, it's unapproachable,

fordi, I ved, de er utilnærmelige,

people feel like they have to read the manual.

folk føler, at de har brug for at læse manualen.

Så jeg prøver på --

So I try to create these very minimal activities

(Latter)

Jeg prøver at skabe disse minimalistiske aktiviteter

that allow people to express themselves, and, hopefully --

der tillader mennesker at udtryk dem selv, og, forhåbentlig --

("The End" by The Doors)

Whoa! I'm like -- on the page, but it doesn't exist.

whoa, jeg er ligesom -- på siden, men den eksisterer ikke.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

It's, like -- seriously, though --

Det er, ligesom -- seriøst ment, dog --

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I try to create meaningful environments for people to express themselves.

Jeg prøver at skabe meningsfulde miljøer

hvor folk kan udtrykke sig selv.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Here I created a contest called, "When Office Supplies Attack,"

Her skabte jeg en konkurrence kaldet: "Når kontorforsyninger angriber",

which, I think, really resonated with the working population.

Hvilket jeg synes virkelig gav genklang med den --

(Latter)

arbejdende del af befolkningen.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Over 500 entries in three weeks.

Over 500 indlæg på tre uger, toiletpapir-mode.

Toilet paper fashion.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Again, people from all over the country.

Igen, mennesker fra hele landet skabte ting --

The watch is particularly incredible.

uret er særligt bemærkelsesværdigt.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Online drawing tools -- you've probably seen a lot of them.

Online tegneredskaber -- I har formentlig set en masse af dem.

I think they're wonderful.

Jeg synes de er vidunderlige.

It's a chance for people to get to play with crayons

Jeg synes, det er en chance for folk til at få lov til at lege med kridt

and all that kind of stuff.

og al den slags. Men jeg er interesseret i processen,

But I'm interested in the process of creating,

den kreative proces, som den egentlige hændelse, jeg er interesseret i.

as the real event that I'm interested in.

And the problem is that a lot of people suck at drawing,

Og problemet er, at en masse mennesker er elendige til at tegne,

and they get bummed out at this, sort of, you know, stick figure,

og får det elendigt over den her, I ved, tændstikfigur-agtige,

awful little thing that they created.

grimme lille ting, de har skabt.

And eventually, it just makes them stop playing with it,

Og i sidste ende, stopper de med at lege med det,

or they draw penises and things like that.

eller tegne, I ved, de tegner penisser og den slags ting.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

So, the Scribbler is an attempt to create a generative tool.

Så, Scribbler'en er et forsøg på at skabe et generativt værktøj.

In other words, it's a helping tool.

Med andre ord, det er et hjælpeværktøj.

You can draw your simple stick figure,

Du kan tegne en simpel tændstikmand, og så samarbejder den

and it collaborates with you to create sort of a post-war German etching.

med dig og skaber en slags efterkrigstids tysk radering.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

In fact, it's tuned to be better at drawing things that look worse.

Så du kan -- faktisk er den gearet til at være bedre til at tegne ting,

der ser værre ud. Så vi begynder, og starter med at tegne lidt, og --

So, we go ahead, and we start scribbling.

So the idea is that you can really,

så ideen er, at du virkelig kan,

you know, partake in this process,

I ved, tage del i processen,

but watch something really crappy look beautiful.

men se noget virkelig lort, ser smukt ud.

And here are some of my favorites.

Og her er et par af mine favoritter. Dette er en liille marionetfigur

This is the little trap marionette that was submitted to me.

der blev sendt til mig. Her er den, meget cool.

Very cool.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Darling.

Elskede, smukt.

Beautiful stuff.

I mean this is incredible.

Jeg mener, det er fantastisk. Dette er fra en 11-årig pige -- tegnede dette

An 11-year-old girl drew this and submitted it.

og sendte det ind. Det er bare fantastisk.

It's just gorgeous.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I'm dead serious here.

Jeg -- Jeg er gravalvorlig her. Jeg synes faktisk -- det er ikke en joke.

This is not a joke.

(Laughter)

But, I think it's a really fun and wonderful thing.

Men jeg synes, at det er -- det er en virkelig sjov og vidunderlig ting.

So this is called the "Fiction Project."

Og dette her kaldes for skønlitteratur-projektet. Det er et online rum,

This is an online space,

which is basically a refurbished message board

som -- basalt set er det en renoveret opslagstavle

that encourages collaborative fiction writing.

som opfordrer til kollaborativ skrivning af skønlitteratur.

These are haikus.

Disse er haiku-digte.

None of the haikus were written by the same person.

Ingen af haikuerne er skrevet af den samme person,

In fact, each line is contributed by a different person

faktisk, ikke een linje var --

I ved, hver eneste linje er tilføjet af forskellige personer

at a different time.

på forskellige -- på forskellige tidspunkter.

I think that the "now tied up, tied down,

Jeg synes at, "nu bundet op, bundet ned,

mistress cruel approaches me, now tied down, it's up."

"elskerinde grusom kommer til mig, nu bundet ned, den er oppe"

It's an amazing way, and I'll tell you,

Det -- Det er en utrolig måde, og jeg kan fortælle jer,

if you come home, and your spouse, or whoever it is,

hvis I kommer hjem og din ægtefælle, eller hvem det end er,

says, "Let's talk" --

siger "Lad os snakke" -- på den måde, som isner dig allerinderst inde.

That, like, chills you to the very core.

(Laughter)

But it's peripheral activities like these

Men det er perifere aktiviteter som disse,

that allow people to get together, doing fun things.

der får folk at arbejde sammen og lave sjove ting.

They actually get to know each other,

De lærer faktisk hinanden at kende,

and it's sort of like low-threshold peripheral activities

og det er en slags perifere aktiviteter med lav indgangstærskel, som jeg synes er de vigtigste

that I think are the key to bringing up

til at bringe noget af vores sammenbindende sociale kapital

some of our bonding social capital that we're lacking.

som vi mangler. Og meget, meget hurtigt --

And very, very quickly -- I love puppets.

Jeg elsker dukker. Her er en dukke.

Here's a puppet.

It dances to music.

Den danser til musik, Lotte Reiniger,

Lotte Reiniger, an amazing shadow puppeteer in the 20s,

en fantastisk skyggedukkefører fra '20erne

that started doing more elaborate things.

som begyndte at gøre mere indviklede ting.

I became interested in puppets,

Jeg blev interesseret i dukker,

and I just want to show one last thing to you.

og jeg vil bare lige vise jer en sidste ting.

Oh, this is how you make puppets.

åh, dette er hvordan du laver dukker.
