What Have We Been Up To… For this lovely Monday we shared what we have been up to. We described our upcoming event, the CapCUE Techfest (http://capcuetechfest.weebly.com/), and what to expect and some people to check out! Ryan stumbled upon the sports update of his alma mater, UNR Football team, and their recap of their game against Cal Poly but  something didn't look right.  It seems it was written by a computer based on context and algorithms. This is something we heard on an episode of TWIT by Leo Laporte (https://twitter.com/leolaporte), computer generated news briefs. Also, we learned that Ryan applied for the Google Innovators program that will be announced for their Toronto cohort tomorrow, so send your positive vibes his way!  Take a look at the updates on our site Check This Site Out (http://checkthisoutsite.weebly.com/) and see what we have added.  It had a much needed makeover so make sure you visit Check This Site Out dot Weebly dot com. We shared the success of our new Check This Out Minute of our show and how enjoyable that has been.
