You're smarter than you give yourself credit for, with the (ever expanding) library you have and I think you know more of things than you think. :) With that...

I think this is a superb idea you've had. I'll post this here, as well on your new baby (haha), but my 1st recommendation is you peruse some of the interviews on TED. http://www.ted.com/ …Awesome.
