What have I been up to? I've been watching these poetry classes from Yale Open Course. They are so meaty that I can watch them over and over and pick up something new every time. I've never actually studied poetry, so it has been a real treat. I stream these videos on my laptop (macbook pro) and use Google Chrome to get them up on the the TV. I bought myself a SmartTV for an early birthday present and should check and see if I can get right to YouTube from there. I love this guy Hammer! There are lots of videos in this class. The handouts and whatever the class is seeing on the overhead is not available which is annoying but probably has to do with copyright.
