Alper’s thoughts on improve­ments of col­lege lec­tures. Inter­est­ing thoughts, but I think his old-school col­lege still has to catch on with new ways of teach­ing. Lec­tures are hor­ri­ble teach­ing in many respects; one per­son­’s talk­ing, the rest are sleeping.

Pret­ty look­ing Flash based clock.

Open source strum­ming inter­face using the Wii’s periph­er­als. Awe­some stuff. Can’t wait to see the explo­sion of new game inter­faces that the Wii’ll unleash in the com­ing year.
