Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Walter Lewin Lecture
I hadn't heard of Walter Lewin before, but Monday I saw this amazing lecture. A labor of love "Walter Lewin, acclaimed professor emeritus and Internet star, delivers one final lecture at MIT."
My first semester of Physics at MIT was taught by Walter Lewin. His lectures were fantastic fun. Very memorable. I think videos of his full class are on MIT's Open Courseware site.

Yes they are. He said on average 6,000 people a day watch them.
