Lecture: Blackbody Radiation

I just watched the lecture Melodie posted on blackbody radiation. I liked how the video did not go too deeply into the mathematics. An interesting fact I learned was that blackbodies are perfect emitters as well as absorbers. However, I felt that the video was a bit slow and I spaced out frequently while waiting for pictures to be drawn. Also, an outline of topics covered near the beginning would have been nice, as sometimes the video abruptly went to a topic or application without warning, and I was a bit lost. (upon a second watching, this problem didn't come up again.)
