Life long learning 

Learning new things can be challenging, fun and rewarding. Obviously the 23 Things Project is one part of my life long learning journey and one that I relish. So far it has forced me to revisit and relearn how to create blogs and this is just the beginning ...

I found the readwrite blog had a better format than the mahup site, which was far too busy visually. Both had Supebowl related post at the moment, presumably the event is coming up very soon. Saddly I have little interest in the afore mentioned activity, however a scroll through earlier posts showed a few of interest to me. Of particular note was a blog entry entitled "Meet Truth Teller, An Automated Political Fact-Checking App" which apparently fact checks politians speeches as they are making them. A very interesting idea, but personally I would take the relability of such an app with a grain of salt. Here is the link, if anybody is interested in finding out more

Here is a demonstration of the app in action
