[FoRK] Fwd: Kauffman Foundation Science of Sports mobile modules

[Stephen D. Williams]

Cool.
I was just recently looking, again, at MIT Open Course Work (OCW).  
Pretty amazing.  And it happens to be very useful to me right now.
http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm

If anyone is interested in this area, please email me privately.  I have 
some ideas, initially non-profit and finite, in this area that I'd like 
to explore.  Something I would be the first user for.
