Coursera...

is a social entrepreneurship company that partners with the top universities in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. We envision a future where the top universities are educating not only thousands of students, but millions. Our technology enables the best professors to teach tens or hundreds of thousands of students.

Through this, we hope to give everyone access to the world-class education that has so far been available only to a select few. We want to empower people with education that will improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in.

Monkey Mind

"Buddhism was made for the anxious like Christianity was made for the downtrodden or AA for the addicted.  Its entire purpose is to foster equaniminty, to tame excesses of thought and emotion."

- from Monkey Mind, A memoir of Anxiety by Daniel Smith

Jed

quotable Larry

Yesterday was gorgeous, 80 and sunny. Today it's miserable; 30's, windy, and spitting snow. While walking the dog this morning Larry was looking particularly disgruntled all bundled up and hunched over so I (quite insincerely) offered up that we could always move somewhere else. And sounding like a spoiled three year old child he responded
"No. I hate everywhere."
We both laughed, went inside, and made some hot cocoa.Wyoming has two seasons: summer and winter. 

Summer's over.
