Ted.com

So what if this makes me a nerd at heart, this site is really interesting. It's a collection of video lectures by specialists in different fields, mostly asking a question or explaining some issue. It's a nice, brief way of noodling around in the intellectual world without having to fully understand any particular field, kind of like a truncated version of college. I stumbled onto Five Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Children Do on YouTube, which led me to Why Aren't We All Good Samaritans, then Beauty and Truth in Physics.

Hi! Ted.com is really a great video lecture resource!

I'd like to let you know that I have been collecting academic video lectures for 1.5 years now.

My blog is at http://freescienceonline.blogspot.com

I have collected maths, physics, computer science, biology, engineering and many other lectures!


Sincerely,
