I was watching a talk of his the other day and thinking "he's old enough to be my dad, but damn, he's cute..." ¬_¬

Throughout my life, I've found that the best lecturers aren't necessarily the smartest or the most credentialed, they're the most apparently passionate and enthusiastic — so much so that their enthusiasm has a tendency to "rub off" on their audiences. Enthusiasm leads to engagement, which leads to attentiveness and self-motivation for learning. Even a mediocre teacher can be a great lecturer, and I've had a few in my lifetime (though unfortunately I can count their number on one hand).
