And overnight the world changes

November 11, 2005 by

Through a stunning razzle-dazzle trick of Herculian proportions, using code work advanced beyond the capacities of nearly every living human being, David Veksler, without assistance from anyone or anything but his own intellectual acumen and relentlessly logical pattern of creative thought, has fully integrated the Media server and the Study Guide. Now you can look up a single author and find all media, books, scholarly articles, and everything else associated with that person, and download it/them/all instantly. Here is the result.

Here’s why this is so great. Maybe I’m out of date, but last I remember you couldn’t go to a library and find CDs or DVDs of an author lecturing next to books by that author. Through a combination of the Mises Institute’s commitment to audio/video and, now, integration with the Study Guide, we have such a library. Would you prefer to listen to Rothbard lecture rather than to read an article by him? Do you simply want info on a topic no matter whether it is text, audio or video? The Study Guide is now there for you in a way that few other libraries are (or no others?).

Great job, David!

Fantastic! this is a big help and will save a lot of people a lot of time as well as facilitate creative, associative thinking (by having articles, audio and video on similar topics listed together). thanks very much

Except at work I can’t get through port 88 (well, at least now without tunneling which I ought not have to do – 8080 or 8088 tends to be more standard), and how do I get the podcast MP3 instead of the proprietary media format? Even if I would prefer to listen or view the lecture, I can’t do it on my iPod.

Ah, the pains when people are slaves to (Redmond,) Washington and want all people to pay tribute to them before they can access the information…
