One of the defining characteristics of geekery is the desire to continuously learn more about one's various passions. From the title, and several of my posts, you might think that I'm an Apple geek. Not so. The iPod for me is mostly (roughly 80%) a tool. A dang cool tool, but it mainly feeds my music geekery. But this weekend that changed.
I've known in the abstract about this thing called iTunesU. I recently got myself a 3rd Gen iPod nano (my wife is taking the 2nd Gen to the US in a few weeks, and I can't be left without, can I?) and decided that it was time for me to check it out. All I can really say is Hot Damn! The computer science departments at MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley have tons of great lectures on there! Some of them are audio, some are video, but all of them are delicious....
Check it out. Really.
Oh, and if you are a fan of good music, where good is defined as "possibly, but probably not, playing on a radio near you" then get yourself a subscription to Paste Magazine. Now. You won't regret it.
