Was reading a host of sites; every now and then, i start to spam over the web, ( my way of saying wasting time looking through links from ordinary sources) . First I started with a Harvard student's blog, not much substance, but all the links, and from there, gave me a whole list of information. MIT's graduate studies department": CMS- is really interesting. I wish I had thought about some major like that instead of mathematics. That stuff seems really relevant and alive. The shit I do in class is just so dead. Really, who uses multivariable calculus besides some hi-tech individuals? . I am sorry I am not speaking like a college student, but someone over 25. I have been in school too long, starting to make me feel like my head is gonna blow.
Here are the sites:
http://www.henryjenkins.org
- hes a little on the bizarre side, but some cool information, like cutting edge; thats what I like about the east coast, they are doing things where there has been no market set up[ a few more words about this guy, if you did media/communication then you know this prolific person. he's coming to usc from MIT. in my opinion, maybe he will get his research more collaborative, but i do not think he will find those minds like students, but then again he isn't really a teacher. you know now i think of it, what happened to those who teach others?....anyways, yeah he's big, got some books, make you think more...]

-- this is good too, but you should research the author, he has a lot of interesting things to say.
Well from those I found like over a 1000 different blog and other academia related stuff.
Now that I realize how cool knowledge is in that aspect, makes me see it all differently. From the University of South Side, its just cut and dry, and oh yeah the heavy sticker price to step foot on the sidewalks.
Something for the future: giving access to poorer kids, what richer kids see: e.g. Harvard, MIT, all the latest informations; how to make it accessible to those around me, who just see the bleakness of life. I mean if I feel it to be bleak, and I am not even that bad off, how about the rest below. huh.
