The Personal MBA site has been relaunched and looks fantastic!
Their slogan is "mastering business through self-education."

This is an awesome talk by Warren Buffet to a graduating MBA class. He gives some really good words of wisdom and interesting anecdotes from his experiences.
A couple of my favorite points:
1. If you could invest 10% in another person, what traits would be your basis for doing so? Since you own 100% of yourself, what traits would you seek to cultivate?
2. On LTCM: "To make money they didn't have and didn't need, they risked what they did have and did need, and that's foolish."

I see MIT is not teaching intro to CS using Python! Wow (so long having been Lisp/Scheme based).
Looks like a fun course, and you can do most of it online here with access to lecture notes and assignments.

It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python programming language.
