That poor guy, he's got the weight of the world bearing down on him. So nervous. Everyone's looking at him. But what he is talking about is so completely fascinating. I want to thank him for talking about it. I want to thank MIT for making brilliant stuff like this available to all of us for free.

This is great. I found audio files of this in the past, but without being able to see what was going up on the board, it wasn't really useful.

All of the lectures are absolutely fascinating. There is a student named Lativ or something, who asks tough questions which are interesting too. I recommend this to all fellow hackers.

On a side note, I am currently reading "Metamagical Themas" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamagical_Themas), written by Douglas Hofstadter, who also wrote the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid".

"Metamagical Themas" is a very good read about a ton of different subjects, from self-referential sentences to Lisp.
