MIT OPEN COURSEWARE
You know how summer usually provides excellent settings for taking time off the regular routine, especially when this routine is embedded with technology. If you don’t know about iTunes U then you must look it up. It’s a choice among several in the Store of the iTunes application.
If you’re lucky enough to own an iPhone with the iPhone 2.0 software upgrade, you will have noticed the Apps store which was recently added. That’s a sidetrack, but Apple has allowed developers to sell or offer software and obtain a percentage along the way. Apparently, downloads have already exceeded the 10 million mark in one week-end. But that’s off topic and warrants a review in by itself. 
iTunes U is rich with courses offered for free. Time to get the old brain cells fired up again. I’m especially impressed by MIT’s Open Courseware offerings. Have a look at something light and pick SP.287 Kitchen Chemistry, Spring 2006. Looking for something more involved? Look at Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. There is a lot more on iTunes U, have a look at it and synchronize your iPod and/or iPhone. Enjoy your time off!
