Life Long Learning

For some, it's been years since you were in school, for others, you're still there. But, as a race, we tend to be lifelong learners whether it be in the school of hard knocks or a more academic arena. This may have been shared before and, if so, I apologize. Since I'm new and haven't gone back through years of posts, I'm going to hazard repeating information you may already know.
There is a website that is extremely useful for either brushing up on academic subjects or reinforcing them as you are learning them. I've used it with students before and it has been very helpful.
The site is khanacademy
There are many videos covering everything from basic mathematics, chemistry, biology, political theory, cosmology, economics, SAT prep and other concepts in a very academic sense. Hope you enjoy and find it useful!!

Well you helped me.

Speaking of media tricks, have any of you seen the new Taco Bell loco taco commercial? Its a direct rip-off of Brian and the ATS recap video. Its shameless. I guess they think ATS has no mojo. BTW Doritos + Taco Bell lol I just farted thinking about it.
