The Khan Academy

I love what this guy is doing: Salman Khan has recorded over a thousand ten-minute lectures on every topic in the K-12 curriculum (and quite a bit beyond that), and they are all free. There are tons of math lectures. He is doing it primarily as labor of love, not for profit. I hope he gets very rich off it anyway; he deserves it.  Amazing and inspiring to see. Check out the Khan Academy.

Steam for Mac is now available.

"Steam for Mac is officially available, along with a sizeable trove of games—including Portal, which is now free for everybody."

Gizmodo's headline says it all: "Real Gaming for Macs Is Finally Here". (I stole the line above from Gizmodo too.) Steam is an online gaming platform that has heretofore been limited to Windows.

This will probably get taken down soon; the owners of the movie don't like 'Downfall' parodies (though the rest of us do!)
