This is sweet. They have 25 video lectures posted, and about half of them are given by an Charles Leisorson, one of the writers of CLRS (the best algorithms textbook to learn from for the first time). He's an amazing lecturer, and his explanations greatly clarify some very difficult ideas. The guy who does the other half isn't as good, but is still pretty decent. If you have a passable grip on probability, these lectures/problems are pretty cool to go through.

That is why algorithms are overrated.
