I transcribed two Asimov essays that I'd put off (they're in Robot Visions which I read a while back), The New Teachers and Whatever You Wish. I also took local copies of all the essays I've linked to on my Essays page, in case they ever disappear.

I have a slew of old SF movies to watch. Can you believe I haven't yet watched THX 1138 and only recently watched The Day the Earth Stood Still? I also discovered Buster Keaton, whose whole collection of movies I now have.
