That's an aggregation website for many of the same online lectures. Someone told me about Lecture Fox, and I ended up spending a couple of months seriously studying Brian Harvey's class on "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs", maybe 80 hours total to listen to the lectures and do the exercises. I just wish there was a teaching assistant I could sometimes ask for help on the exercises! http://www.academicearth.org/courses/the-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs http://lecturefox.com/computerscience/ (9th link from the top) My wife and I also enjoyed the lecture on Economic Pricing Analysis at CalTech, and several lectures on the Intro to Psych at Harvard.

She blames Firefox. I guess I will just have to deal with the problem. Oh my gosh, while I was writing this the blue background (Myngle blue) suddenly turned white. Much better. Maybe the talk I had with my computer helped after all. Well, I had a long talk with my computer but she complains it isn’t her fault. She blames Firefox.

Oh my gosh, while I was writing this the blue background (Myngle blue) suddenly turned white. Much better. Maybe the talk I had with my computer helped after all.
