- Hubert Dreyfus: Philosophy 6 Man, God, and Society in Western Literature - This course, taught at UCBerkeley in 2007, includes a study of Moby Dick and polytheism. Professor Dreyfus was committed to providing online access to his amazing lectures, where he sometimes refered to the "ipod people out there." This project is a direct result of my being one of the ipod people. (note: The first two files have some audio problems but it gets better.)

- Nantucket Whaler - Remains Found - "...He (Captain Pollard) eventually took a job as the town’s night watchman. In the 1850s, he was visited by a 30-something writer who had just published a novel — “Moby-Dick” — to middling reviews. A former whaler himself, Melville had sought out Pollard and found, according to Mr. Philbrick, a kind of soul mate in the older man." (nytimes, 2/11/2011)
