Scott Young’s Computer Science Blog “Over the next 12 months, I’m going to learn the entire 4-year MIT curriculum for computer science, without taking any classes. I’ve always wanted to speak that language. But, I didn’t want to invest four years of my life and hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn it. I want to show that learning doesn’t require acceptance boards and SAT tests, thousands of dollars in debt, or even the 4-year pace most students assume is necessary to learn a subject.
Will I fail? It’s definitely a possibility. I’m attempting to learn the same material at 4 times the speed without the benefit of instructors. I’ll also post any failures, so you can be sure I’m not omitting my mistakes.” - Alex
Diagnostic Contact Lens This one is pretty cool; a contact lens that monitors blood sugar levels. - Gregg

83-year-old woman got 3D printed mandible 83-year old woman becomes first person in the world to get a 3D printed jaw replacement. Made from titanium, it is apparently slightly heavier than a real jaw, but disappointingly, she doesn’t resemble a certain Bond villain at all. - Alex
Binary marble adding machine Very cool site about “outside the box” woodworking. - Brandon
