Cool Stuff

(*) This page is a work in progress, so please excuse the mess until it receives a makeover?


Wet your lips because this page is a brown paper bag of very cool random online material to fill your head and delight the senses.
Most of these resources are useful... Some of these resources are important... And all of these resources are awesome.

I've found the videos and authors in these playlists helpful. I use them...

Full of fun videos for kids...


A powerful program, similar to Photoshop. I'm still surprised; few of these videos are made by some very smart kids...


MOOCs

Massive online open courses (MOOCs) add more than structure to education using multimedia online. Here, even ivy-league professors are creating entire courses with the lectures their students would get and making them available to the public. Some examples...

Udacity










Coursera
edX














Crowfunding

It still takes money to make money...
Until civilization adopts a better system, private ownership requires a medium of exchange (money.) 
Only, crowdfunding is changing the game. Good inventions, noble causes, works of art, community programs, they all can happen a lot easier now.
Anyone can post a publicly visible project where visitors can support them. Complete strangers from across the world uniting for a common goal.
The result is millions of dollars contributed to phenomenal projects; projects that never would have become realized. 
To be continued.

Indiegogo

Kickstarter

A unique way of learning computer programming by creating video games.
