'twas recorded! awesome talk, entertaining in its own right (Khan of Khan Academy came to give a talk at MIT) and he brings up some very interesting ideas about education and how to change it for the better.
Hmm, I seem to be doomed to make lots of terrible quality posts. I created orangenarwhals with the idea of spamming nouyang.blogspot lots but putting lengthy quality posts on orangenarwhals. Oops. Yea, anyway wandering over here, I update orangenarwhals.blogspot.com very frequently nowadays and this less so, since I've decided this will be a more "person thoughts on things" and that will be more "insane documentation of technical things".
I LOVE SAL KHAN! He's awesome. And I really think the education system he's developing is the best bet we got if we want to make everyone love learning!
