The million dollar question: how will I keep up with my learning of new technology to enhance my personal and professional life?? The 23 Things on a Stick project has been so much fun and so good for me.
Committing to 15 minutes a day to learn something new and keep current is a noble idea, but in reality, isn't going to happen. There isn't time for this at work, and at home I am forced to share the computer with teenagers that pull the "But Mom! I have homework! Are you almost done on the computer???" card. My plan is to combine my 15-minute sessions and explore for an hour or so on days when they aren't around.
On days when I truly have 15 minutes, I think browsing through the articles in my new Google Reader account will save searching time and get me to the good stuff fast. My favorites:
Lifehacker
43folders
Another idea is to use my iPod to listen to the podcasts that I subscribed to in Thing 19. I can do this while washing dishes or ironing -- two things that I haven't done during this push to complete the 23 Things project. Ha! No wonder my family is sick of this...

Congratulations on finishing! Hope you enjoyed all 23 and will continue using the tools.
Thanks for your encouragement, Ann. I have really finished now...I took the online survey before publishing the draft of my blog post for Thing 23.
