45 things you can learn online for free. To sample: Play craps. Chant. Dance Merengue.

If only solving math problems were this easy.

I call shenanigans on "learn to snowboard" being free or possible while on a computer.


Still a cool list, but I have resolved to do more nitpicking more in 2008 ;)

I like how in the craps tutorial, they substitute the phrase "fun bet!" to introduce what are usually called "sucker bets." (Field/Big 6 & 8)

Reel 'em in, Sahara!

Man I love craps.

Huh. Jim Shooter's little essay, How to Write Comics, didn't make the list. I don't know why, but I can honestly say with all sincerity that I'm no closer to successfully writing for a comic book after reading Shooter's essay than I was before I read it.
