academic earth

i'm a huge fan of TED.
and if you haven't yet, you should check it out.

but i was reading articles on slate when i bumped on
an article on Academic Earth.

wow.
thousands of video lectures from the world's top scholars.
and so i registered.

'cause there's a thomas friedman lecture called the world is flat 3.0
there's a guy kawasaki lecture called silicon valley 4.0
there's a barry nalebuff lecture called why not?,
based i'm assuming on his wonderful book of the same name

the videos are rather lengthy though,
they are class lectures after all.

but it sure beats staring at facebook status updates.
lifelong learning here we come!
