Oh wow, I have never heard that idiom before but I love it. There is beauty in the English language after all

Other than this site try, MIT OCW (opencourse-ware) :
http://ocw.mit.edu

( MIT have good assignments,problem sets etc but they don't have lectures in html/pdf format like stanford ) i tried natural language processing material,and i'll rate stanford's material high above MIT.
