Free Online Documentary - The Fabric of the Cosmos

If Youtube, PPT, Tudou and all the other online video crap isn't enough for you, try this: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com. It is just a place that gathers some online documentaries. I was sad when I saw that its Economics section really sucked, with its main focus on financial crises, collapsing economies or run-away companies. No wonder people have such a negative view about the study of Economics!

Nonetheless, the website has some cool videos. It is like how I like to shop around in physical shops, because many a times, I don't know exactly what I want (my utility function is really fuzzy and unstable). Browsing through certain sections can lead me to other interesting stuff that I wasn't looking for initially. There are some interesting videos about history, psychology, philosophy, science, and many others.

There is an interesting documentary about physics http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL300BF5A42D3C21C4&v=rknAZFkm3UU&feature=player_embedded. This is the youtube link, but I got it from the previous website that I mentioned. I once read the book by the same author (Brian Greene), but I did not manage to get through the entire book. Had to get through my Master's thesis back then.

Free Ebooks

Lately, with time at hand, I have done some intensive Internet surfing. For example, my entry into the pay-per-click industry has shown me some very interesting websites. In addition, I found some interesting websites that span from task management, file transfers, site building to investment plannings and so on. Figured that its a good idea to share them here. I am going to start with free ebooks. There are 2 sites I like to recommend.
I focus on only the books that I want. They are mainly economics, philosophy, mathematics, econometrics. Looking forward to look at physics books in the future. Definitely, you should not expect to obtain exactly the books that you get. But if you keep an open mind with several topics that you do not mind to peruse, then why not? Since its free anyway! (Of course, you have opportunity cost of reading.) Guess its really the time for me to get that Kindle that I always wanted!
