Error on slides by Simon Polak

Looks like the my-reduce function from slides has an error in it. The recursive call should be (my-reduce f (f (first coll)) (rest coll)). Also this this function will blow the stack pretty soon :P (I'm only 7 mins in the talk though, he will probably point that out.)

Re: Error on slides by Simon Polak

Oh, my mistake. There should be a val in (f val (first coll)).
