Stuff That Rocks

And now, another installment of Stuff That Rocks - because I've come across some stuff that's made of win lately.

First and foremost: it looks like "Futurama" is coming back. Fo' real. Comedy Central, you are awesome. But not as awesome as Bender. Close, though.

Next up: Khan Academy. An MIT graduate (math degree - shocking, I know...oh, and he's done other stuff, too) decided that he wanted to teach various mathematical and financial concepts to as many people as possible. So, he set up this Web site, which is full of YouTube videos that show you how to solve all sorts of math problems. I'm currently working my way through the concepts that will be on this math-placement test my school's making me take before allowing me to sign up for the "Math for people who aren't at this university to do diddly squat with any sort of math, but have to take two math classes anyway" class. Why? Because I haven't taken a math class in a few years, and have no idea of what I'm doing. The Khan Academy Web site has been, to say the least, insanely helpful.

And now, we're on entry number three: Phil Frickin' Ivey. (No spoiler alert because the tourney I'm about to talk about isn't going to be televised.) Phil Frickin' Ivey, man, in the No-limit 2-7 WSOP event...utterly amazing. And 2-7 Lowball isn't even "his" event, which makes the utter ownage even better.
