Photo of Bill Gates If you missed Bill Gates April 25 at the UW, the final stop on his university tour, you can watch the archived video. Gates shares his thoughts on software, innovation, entrepreneurship, and giving back. UWTV also provides archived Webcasts on the Dalai Lama's recent visit, the personal genome, and more.
My Team Is Great! logo The three-minute screencast "Timmy's Excellent Adventure" was the winning entry in UW's My Team Is Great contest. It's a clever story about helping a student, whose skills are stuck in 1984, learn to use the "magic box" on his desk, live chat, and podcasts to deal with his student finances. See all the entries online.
