A Little Education
For no particular reason, except that they looked interesting, I have signed up to three free on-line courses. One is Rome: A Virtual Tour of the Ancient City with Matthew Nicholls at the University of Reading, another is Literature in the Digital Age: from Close Reading to Distant Reading with Philipp Schweighauser at the University of Basel, and the other is the Genomics Era: The Future of Genetics in Medicine from three doctors at St George's Hospital, London.
The last time I did an on-line course was a PGCE with the Open University. Hodmandods Senior and Major have both done them with the MIT and say that they have learnt a lot, so now I am going to have a go. The first two courses start on March 13th and require around four hours a week each, so I hope I can keep up. The Genetics one starts earlier, in February, and may well prove beyond me, but I'm going to give it my best shot.

The middle one sounds like something an optician might offer ;-)
Heh, heh. Yes, Brian - I'm looking forward to finding out what Distant Reading is! I've never heard of it before.
