This is the most recent open thread. It’s a post in “Main” to which people can comment if they have something to say which isn’t even worth a “Discussion” level post. A new one is created twice a month.
If I was reliable enough to be sure, then I’d probably know where the comment in question was :P But I am fairly confident. They weren’t professionally made videos (nor was the website professional-looking), just a set by this one guy explaining one bit of maths at a time.
It sounds like you are talking about Khan Academy, Just Math Tutorials, Math TV, Midnight Tutor, or a similar website. As far as I’m aware, none of the people involved with those sites post at LessWrong.
Julian Pulgarin works at Khan Academy.
But as far as the big fish go, your observation is probably correct.
For future reference, this level of question is better suited to an open thread.
How does one create an open thread? The only options I had available were this and comments. Is it something you need minimum karma for?

No idea. Are you sure someone didn’t link to Khan academy or something like that?

Sounds to me like you’re confabulating.
