Great Ideas. I've been using the MIT site for sometime now. I was shocked when I found out you can take all of their classes for free, just sans diploma. Its a fantastic tool if you need to brush up on a subject.
Keep the posts coming

As a co-founder of Fratnimals.co.uk, I am constantly scouring the web for new opportunities to learn and brush up on the skills needed in such a demanding position. In all seriousness, the Mango tool is a free version of Rosetta Stone and uses the same linguistic theory in making it both easy to learn and remember.
The MIT Lecture Browser is great as well-- nice for a lazy Sunday afternoon or if you want to re-learn some things that may have been forgotten...
Love the posts, bro.
