Not necessarily a resolution - but I've made myself a promise to watch at least one Khan video a day and work out the problems in the related categories. What an excellent refresher, particularly in mathematics.
I really wish this site was around when I was in high school and college. I'm glad it will be there for my children and I'm certain it will have even more great content than it already has now when they approach the subject matter on this site in their studies.
The presentation format of "let's draw everything super low quality with a mouse" gets old quickly. I believe we've found a case of intelligence without a designer.
The quality has improved dramatically over time. The more recent ones (check out some of the later calc videos) are in HD, and are well-presented, probably scripted beforehand. OTOH in one of the old physics vids his phone goes off part-way through.
He's always been using some sort of tablet for his recordings. In fact, if any of them were achieved by mousing, then Khan isn't just a brilliant educator, he'd also be blessed with godly mousing skills.
What would be nice is if someone could help him out and update the older vids. As others have pointed out, the new vids have great quality. Maybe it's possible to algorithmically improve the quality in the past ones given that they're all lines.
