More free stuff

Watching presentations by people who know their stuff way more than I do is an education.  In a few minutes of video, I'm introduced to half a dozen websites, each of which probably has enough content on it to keep me occupied for a year!  Today's pick are as follows, thanks to Alec from Open Thinking:

Creative Commons is an amazing website that is pushing the boundaries of copyrighting.  Basically you are invited to share any information that you own the copyright to, along with restrictions on how you want it to be used.  Anybody else is then allowed access to that information, providing they agree to follow your restrictions.

Free Video Lectures is a website in progress that has exactly what it says, video lectures on all manner of topics.  There's a few ads on there though.

Google is obvious, but have you ever checked through the options at the top to see what they offer you?  From slices of academic books, to RSS webfeeds, to this blog itself, to the iGoogle homepage there's enough there to keep you amused for weeks.
