What upcoming MOOCs will you be attending? I ask to get some inspiration and some opinions as the selection can be quite overwhelming.

The ones I will probably take next are:

Game Theory - good course according to reviews

Introduction to Logic - I have done a similar course on this but need more practice in this area.

and Exploring Neural Data - no idea what this one is like, but seems interesting. You get to play with some data in Python

Introduction to Linux. I've been using Linux as my daily driver for almost two years now, but I often feel that I'm not leveraging every tool it comes with, and Linux comes with some really awesome tools.

Good idea - it is also worth having a scan of the complete list of commands every few years. I did this after a "friend" spent half a day writing a C program to do something that was already an inbuild command - live and learn!
