Attempts to finitize my bacon number

So one of the hardy souls that took part in the class survey wondered if it is possible to get "videos" of the lectures (since apparently audios are not
giving the full color picture as it were).

Now, I have always been a fan of full class automation (as ably depicted in this Real Genius scene (start at 3min 10sec)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPdWmpMK64o&feature=related ).

So, I got one of 'em flip video recorders--and with the able cinematography our own Abbas(i Kiarostami ;-) got the lecture recorded today. They are available online on the notes page. Let me know if you find them useful. (Since I haven't yet figured out how to stream them, you are currently limited to downloading them).

ps: Since I acted as an instructor in a class where Kevin Bacon appeared on one of the slides, I am hoping this will bump my bacon number..
