the quest for knowledge

ItunesU is where it's @. It's free. There's even less stopping us now... on that, much respect to the Stanford Humanities department.

My favorite part of any great course or class I've ever taken is the applause for the proffesor at the end. I am beginning to wonder how this compares to my feelings towards the "mandatory" applause at the end of every (regardless of whether it's good or bad) concert.

What again, is a meritocracy really?
