just wanted to pass this site along it has videos on all sorts of topic from all sorts of smart folks http://academicearth.org/
Great site. Although I wish they had more lectures in history but overall its like being able to see the best scholars from every school without being accepted, which is great.
here is one lecture i feel everyone should watch at least once... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo"]YouTube - Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams[/ame]
I just got a heads up from sking29 on this thread to be able to look into the history part but will also check out the rest! Gotta keep that grey matter moving around! Thanks. Ron
