I've mentioned the UC Berkeley webcasts before, but I'm mentioning them again because I just tried some of their streaming video content, and was delighted to see it's of high quality. You can read the boards and computer samples and everything. As much as I enjoyed listening to the audio-only of CS 61A on the bus, I only got through it because I had done the reading, and could kind of visualize the code he was writing on the board if I concentrated hard enough. It was helpful to go back and check the video for some parts.

I'm into it as much for the education (some of it review, some of it not) as I am for the nostalgic/tragic desire to be able to go back and do the whole school thing again.
