I’ve read, listened to and watched a lot of Feynman and if your interested in physics I’d have to say his lectures and books are an excellent tool for learning. So I was excited to see that Microsoft Research has posted 7 video lectures Feynman gave at Cornell. There are more in this series so I’m assuming that the other will be put up later. Evidently Bill Gates is a fan of Feynman and purchased them from the BBC to make them available to all. Its called Project Tuva and can be found here:

Some other great Feynman links:

Take the world from another point of view interview

The Douglas Robb Memorial Lectures

Audio compiled by Ralph Leighton

The Feynman Lectures on Physics (At Caltech)

Fun to imagine interview

Another great lecturer on physics and chemistry is Donald Sadoway of MIT (Who coincidently Gates is a fan of as well). His freshman solid state chemistry course is absolutely amazing. The video lectures can be found here.
