Last Call...

Well it's all over, so I will try and do this last one as quickly as possible ;)

• What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?
  I think my favorite was generating images at LetterJames. I had already heard/seen a few of the websites, but this one really tickled my fancy.
  
• How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?
  The idea that you 'know everything' has become completely outdated in the digital 2.0 world. New ideas are constantly being brought out through incredible websites, and it's humbling.
  
• Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
  Admittedly, at first I didn't think I had the time, or was unwilling to make the time. I consider the whole 23 things an 'unexpected discovery'. I learned so much, and I'm glad I decided to do it.
  
• What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?
  Maybe next time we could learn about 18 things instead?
  
  And last but not least…
  
  
• If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?
  Absolutely. I definitely did not give this a chance at first, and I am glad I took the time to do it.

Drinks are on Me!

The site i reviewed was... surprise, surprise: Cocktail Builder
Wow first of all, this is an incredible site. Once I put in the ingredients I had in my liquor cabinet, it instantly provided me a list of drinks I could make, as well as a list of drinks I could make if I had one more kind of liquor (and 2 more, 3 more etc.)
While this may be an alcoholic's best friend, it would also be an excellent tool for anyone hosting a Xmas party or even a dinner party, who is unfamiliar with drink making.

Zoho Writing a Winning Idea

Wow, I really like what I found at Zoho. A really easy-to-use online word processor. My only question is: where was this 7 years ago when I really could have used it, at University. I think this is another element that the Web will always been known for: open and free software that can compete with a suite that you would have to buy. As long as these things exist, it only serves to make the web more accesible and open to all sorts of people in all sorts of income brackets.
