Two great things I found today

[innsmouth_eyes]

The first of two great things I've found today has been around for awhile but I just got sent the link by my dad and I'm thrilled.

MIT's website offers 1800 free courses and lectures for download. It's a bunch of old courses they don't use anymore and so they've put them up for anybody to use. There's everything from science and technology to art

Whoa! That MIT website is amazing. I mean, that's just an obscene amount of information at my fingertips. Woot!

Those Lord of the Ring animations are, in the words of Peter Griffin, freakin' sweet. Did you watch "Mordor with a D?" What a riot!

[innsmouth_eyes]

Yes, they are pretty sweet. The Mordor with a D one is one of my favorites. Ninja wizards!

BTW, I got your package a few days ago! Thanks so much for sending me the disks. You have some serious photo skills, those pictures were way better than mine. Most of the time I couldn't get my camera out fast enough to shoot anything :D Did you guys see the dolphins and seals in Phoenix? I don't remember any at the zoo. Those desert shots are very pretty as well.

Thank you. Those are very kind words.

We saw the dolphins, seals, and other marine life at Sea World. Unfortunately, you had Con plans that day! It was a cool place, but I did prefer the zoo.

D'oh, I remember. I wish I'd gone with you guys, the panels I went to turned out to be kind of boring. Looks like you had a blast :D

We did have a good time, but at least you got to see the guys from MST3K. I still can't believe I didn't get to see Harryhausen, but I just couldn't handle the crowds. Yikes.

[innsmouth_eyes]

That is true, they were amazing. Everything leading up to that was really blah, though. I too wish I'd been able to see Harryhausen, but the crowds were really imposing. I'm usually okay with crowds but I don't like to fight my way in. Oh well.
