blog  Learning iPhone development while sitting on your couch.

Sep 2009

I guess this is just part of the huge e-learning revolution happening in our century.. what I'm referring to is that through ITunesU - a sort of university-centered section of iTunes that delivers podcasts/videocasts - you can learn an incredible amount of stuff from the top-teachers in the world. Free of charge, anywhere, anytime.

blog  Philosophy On the Air.

Jun 2007

It's nice to see the ancient philosophy keeping up with the new technologies - shows how the soul of philosophy is immortal, and linked to men instead of publication mechanisms. There's a new podcast available, Philosophy Bites, created by Nigel Warburton (who teaches at the OU) and David Edmonds. The podcast makes available interviews on hot topics with eminent actual philosophers.
