Feel constrained by your introductory college biology series and timetable? Why don't you just teach yourself instead.

Their offerings are focused on the life sciences at the moment, but I can see this easily growing. The next question is how to assess proficiency and scale against conventional college credit systems.

Of course, if you're doing it for love of knowledge all of that is irrelevant. Honestly, I would have killed for this as a kid with all the time I spent reading encyclopedia & journal articles for fun.

I have been given Michael Chrichton's newest book State of Fear to read by a co-worker because he wanted to know how "real" Chrichton's trip to Antarctica for the characters was. I have obliged him because I expected it to be a swift, somewhat engaging, read as Chrichton can be.

I am just short of pissing blood in disgust here. I haven't been this annoyed since I hurled The Da Vinci Code against a wall for being a shitty rip off of the Holy Blood, Holy Grail conspiracy theory.

I WILL finish this book out of spite now. Then I will spew forth with great anger and terrible fury upon this papery thing that barely deserves to be called a book. Even if it had been printed on two-ply quilted, I probably wouldn't be willing to wipe myself with it.

"Weddell Station"...jeez. I can understand why the Kiwis didn't give him the rights to call it by it's proper name, Scott Base. This gives the Holy Mother the filthy sanchez most definitely. It is possibly squicking Balthazar.
