I'm looking forward to browsing the final reports!  Meanwhile, I love
how you're sharing your students' accomplishments on Youtube!  Keep it
up, and also keep in mind how they're going to be very happy to have
future potential employers find records of things they've created on the
web.  :)

...and then, a plea: I'd love to watch your lecture videos that you've
posted to blip.tv, but I don't have time to do so at work, where I can
watch Adobe Shockwave Flash videos, and I don't have software to play
those files at home.  Is it possible for you to make them available as
straight DivX or XviD or .mpg or .wmv or .avi or .mov or whatever?
Basically, anything but Adobe Shockwave Flash would be great, since
there's software to convert between the open formats.
