Um... at his previous 92nd St Y interview, Martin broke down in tears at the end. That wasn't a portent of things to come? For those not in the know, the 92nd St Y interviews are found in the "iTunes U" section of the iTunes Store. There are some great interviews there with newsmakers, journalists, and celebrities. The Steve Martin and Gene Wilder interviews stand out as great ones. If you haven't explored iTunes U, I highly recommend it. There are some terrific lecture series and even entire online courses in every subject imaginable from major universities and centers of art and culture. All free of charge. Back at the start of the year I began an online course on Game Theory from Yale University, then abandoned it during my job search and relocation. But in recent weeks I have picked it back up -- the calculus is above my head but the theory is fascinating and the professor, Ben Polak, is very good at his job. -- Kevin M.
