I've been reading the book online -- I have the paper copy but it's easier to work the examples with copy/paste -- and I've had a tab open for a while. I opened it again this morning to read a chapter or two, and I got a cert error...

I tried to back it up to the internet archive as proof in case/when the original owners regain control but the Wayback Machine wouldn't accept it with the bad cert.

I love agadmator, also a big fan of ChessNetwork. Two different styles of commentary but both very entertaining.

How often do you review these notes? And do you use any tools besides grep to search through them?

Oh cool! I didn't realize that design was widely used, although it makes sense. If it can cool water for a nuclear plant then no reason it can't cool water for anything else!

I have a hard time taking an article seriously who uses an image of water vapor coming off nuclear cooling towers as an example of carbon emissions from energy production.

Thanks for sharing - this is a wonderfully succinct way to say something I've been trying to model my "to-do" process around for years now. I have spend more time than it's worth switching between to-do apps and processes; I've used calendars, notepads, all sorts of things. Finally, and recently, I've come to the conclusion that at the end of the day, you've got to just do the thing that is bothering you the most, and keep a record of the things that are also bothering you. Beyond that, it doesn't really matter how you keep track of what needs be done, just so long as you take the first step on something.

I got really excited because I've been reading these on the caltech website, and from the title, without looking at the date, I thought this was suggesting that videos of the lectures had been made available (!!) but, alas.

The lectures are great though. Really engaging and creative, and they help you rethink some things you may have picked up in physics class.
