So I recently fell upon this gem of a find, called God and Computers, a seven part series of lectures given by no other than Computer Science/Jedi Master Donald Knuth. The audio and video files can be found at the TechNetCast archives. The video files are .ram, however, and since I didn't feel like befouling my computer with Real Player, I originally downloaded just the MP3s. However, on second glance, I realized that VLC ( <3 ) plays .ram files, and so I'm planning to download those as well.
This series of lectures was given by Dr. Knuth at MIT in 1999. In it, Knuth talks about the interplay of faith (particularly that of Christianity) and Computer Science, and the relevence one has to the other. I have only so far gotten through most of the introduction, but I have a feeling I will be spending a good part of Saturday listening /watching it. It should, in short, be an awesome experience :-)
Just thought I should share...
