I've recently started learning new skills and trying to improve and expand my knowledge. This thread would be a great place for us to share what we're learning and what resources really excite us and inspire us.

The first step in this was to take the online course, "Learning How to Learn" (https://class.coursera.org/learning-003/) at coursera.org 

It's been a really fascinating course on how our brain works and what strategies help us learn better.  I might post a summary of my notes on here if people are interested. The idea that we shouldn't just learn what we are good at or are passionate about and actually expand was one that I really liked since I've avoided math and science my whole life and always wished I were better at these subjects.

I'm looking through the other course offerings and planning to take something else that catches my eye.

So what are you learning right now?
