EPTFeel free to post links to anything that can contribute not only to educational courses offered by universities and individuals, but regular hobbies as well

Hopefully this post will point a lurker in the right direction!
The double-edged sword that is the internet gave us something amazing, free information. Though a lot use strictly the pornographic or gaming aspects of the internet (to which I have no objection) there's still a great part left, free education. Now learning things that have nothing to do with your job or your current educational studies are becoming a hobby.
One of my pet peeves is to be in the dark about something that is known to others. Here are some links to get you started on becoming autodidactic.
Go here for most of the edu resources!
Here too!
To start off here are some university funded projects:

Hopefully this will quench the thirst of those wishing to learn. If your tired of procrastinating and really want to broaden your horizons then pick a topic and you'll find it on the net (more than likely for free). Don't let the internet go to waste, make your choice to learn something new and do it!
