last week i needed to find out how to install an undermount sink, and i found a video at moen.com:

today i heard about tufts medical center’s live webcasts of common surgeries:

and i virtually assisted the inimitable don sadoway‘s introductory course on materials science (3.091) via mit’s open course ware:
