Having graduated from college over a year ago I find myself having occasional lecture withdrawal. I know, it seems strange, but I can’t help it. Academic Earth is a web site full of academic lectures. The tagline to the web site says it all, “full video courses from leading universities.” For those of you who have wondered what it would be like to go to an elite school, you can get a tiny glimpse because the lectures come from Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Yale and others. New lectures are added often, which means for now my lecture withdrawal is sedated.
You can see links to all of the videos here. Below is a list of all of the videos and the lengths. They range from 5 minutes to 2 hours.

In what will be the first of a long series of posts about personal development or inspiration in the form of videos. Steve Jobs has some great advice. I’ll take suggestions for a name to call the series. Something to become a weekly feature like Weekend Reading and Monday Morning Distraction.
If you are looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon, look no further. This list is a 100 Skills every man should know. I know about 42/100 so far, but when I have some time I will try to learn to do more. Some of the stuff is actually very cool.
This is a great read. Anyone who knows me in person knows that this is something I am definitely all about. For those who don’t know, Warren Buffet is America’s richest person. He recently overtook Bill Gates due to fluctuations in the stock market.
I couldn’t come up with a witty title for this post, for that we will have to wait for ‘Gate’s comments.
Hack College is something I wish I would have known about when I was actually in school. The tagline for the web site is “Lifehacks, Study Tips for College Students.” There are some really good resources there for college students. Life Hacker, which is a great site in it’s own regard, also has a great list of some of the best posts from Hack College.
This post has a great list of eight skills you probably didn’t learn in school. Now that I am a member of the real world, I really would have liked to have learned some of these before now.
