There are all these Feynman YouTubes. Does anybody have a full listing? Or a favorite 10 or 20 of them? Can you list them with suggestive topic names to make it easy to find one you want? Feynman is more than physics. I'll try to start the list Different ways of thinking (counting and...

I'm learning mechanics right now via an extension course. In the absence of an "on-demand" teacher I've found multiple textbooks and online resources to be useful. When I studied calculus, Paul's online calculus notes (http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/CalcII.aspx) were a great...

Is there some place online where I can find physical specs (dimensions, pitch, etc) for various IC packages, especially all the jillions of SMT varieties, so I can easily compare them? I'm doing some shopping on Mouser/Digikey, and I don't have any easy way of knowing what the differences are...
