Hmm, I am not sure if your blog is a copy of another blog I just posted a comment on, but it had exactly the same article.
I’d like to let you know that I have been collecting video lectures for 1.5 years now.
My blog is at Free Science Online.

I have collected maths, physics, computer science, biology, engineering and many other lectures!
