I love Kahn Academy! I took algebra in college, got all A's and promptly forgot how to do nearly every operation - Kahn helped me 'remember' some of what I learned and forgot.

Interesting. I have mixed relationship with minimalist art--loving and not sure at the same time. I think I prefer the art to be on a smaller scale when it is a very simple (not meant simple as in easy, but less intricate) design. Some are very attractive, but seem too large for the complexity of the object, for my taste. But I would like the same design on a more intimately-sized study. Others seem to support the size for the design better. Yet I like the art form overall. See? Very mixed--my appreciation must still be in an evolving stage.
