Here's a Charlie Rose interview with Sebastian Thrun: http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12321

It struck me how the overwhelmingly positive response to his online Stanford class took him by surprise and really spurred him to want to open up education. I guess even the most accomplished among us can become inspired.

There's also one from a couple days ago that he responded to earlier today.

This response re the self driving car was particularly interesting-

"While the technology has progressed a lot, it still can't handle all situations we want it to handle. But on the positive end, I have taken the car a number of times to Lake Tahoe (highway only), and every time it drove flawlessly."

Absolutely.

In my experience the most genuinely accomplished people are always getting enthusiastic and inspired about one new thing or another. I think their capacity to be inspired is one of the main reasons they became accomplished in the first place.

Anyone else planning on doing the Intro to Statistics course?

We in #Udacity on irc.freenode.net definitely are :) ! You can join via webchat if you don't have an IRC client yet: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=udacity

Very cool, added to my channel list in Textual.

Just started the Crypto course and it's paced really well, I like it.
