Get Smarterer

Following on Ed's post about learning using internet videos, have you checked out TED? TED is a place where some of the best thinkers and innovators have 18-minutes or less to give a talk on a wide range of topics, one of which is sure to be your cup of tea. Want to hear Bill Gates talk about a new kind of philanthropy, find out how to spot a liar, or what about a perspective on the same-sex marriage debate? If you want to get really geeky, check out the talk on string theory. Check it out, great site to drop some knowledge on yourself during your lunch break.

Khan Academy: Get Smarter

Did you slack off in geology class? Are you in need of a refresher on the Pythagorean theorem? Curious about what a Ponzi scheme is? Look no further than the Khan Academy. This non-profit website's lofty goal is to change education by providing free educational videos to anyone who has internet access. The list of videos at this point is astounding, though my science (Psychology) does not appear to be well-represented. Yay for education!
