Money Hacks

I’ve seen a lot of great sites collecting free college courses. Here’s another. World Lecture Hall links to actual pages of actual college courses. When a professor posts material to the web, World Lecture Hall points to it.

Some courses are delivered entirely over the Internet. Others are designed for students in residence. Many fall somewhere in between. In all cases, they can be visited by anyone interested in courseware on the Internet — faculty, developers, and curious students alike.

The site offers great search capabilities, and allows users to browse by suject area. Interested in Computer Science? You have 88 courses from which to choose!

Consumerism Commentary has a great Quicken hack. Flexo explains how to track airline miles with the program. His method is to:

1. Enable support for multiple currencies
2. Add a custom currenct for the airline miles
3. Add your airline account
4. Hide the balance from your net worth

You can use this technique to track almost any rewards program you have that deals in “points” or “miles” and not real dollars.
