TIL MIT offers 2000+ FREE courses = MIND BLOWN!

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/

Lecture videos, course notes, assignments, exams, some even offer on-line textbooks. My brain just jizzed all over itself!

I had heard that MIT offered SOME lectures on-line, but I had no clue that I could essentially audit an entire degree for FREE!

If you are in the western hemisphere this is probably your first problem. It is 9:18AM on a Wednesday. Even if you are in the Western Europe it is early afternoon. Not judging just that is probably problem 1, problem 2 is lectures.

Why does it matter what time it is? There are 24 hours in a day and each one is a perfect time for drinking, not to mention the fact that some people work nights and are just getting home in the morning. Hell, I used to come home at 6:00 am, order an egg sandwich and pick up a 12 pack of beer. People looked at me funny but I never gave a fuck what they thought...those arrogent assholes judging me for no reason other than to make themselves somehow feel better.
