Anything really.
I can even watch a 2 hour lecture on why capitalism is a bad idea, as long as the guy is interesting.
Its just something to pass the time....instead of watching movies, playing games, etc, etc.

I seem to have lost the "wow" factor to new ideas unless there is something that is really, really mind blowing or earth shattering. Fundamentally, everything seems so rudimentary. The last idea I found really really cool was Siftables on TED. (i.e. Authors@Google have some great ideas out there ranging from psych to poli sci, but there's nothing there that makes me take a step back and go "wow, now that is really cool"). Before that, a true random number generator that could be directed to a certain range of numbers; since then, its been 2 years since I got an actual "wow"

I'm not there yet. I've watched a few more 'advanced' physics courses, given my general interest in the subject.....and a lot of the stuff is WAY over my head.
Interesting to listen, but to me its more of a 'whoa this is crazy'....
