Machine Learning Class is one of the free classes offered online by Stanford. http://www.ml-class.org This one started in October. Another round to start in January. I highly recommend it.
Programming Collective Intelligence is a book by Toby Segaran from O'Reilly ISBN-13: 978-0596529321 It uses Python to apply machine learning techniques to real life problems and looks like loads of fun. The Natural Language Processing with Python book is freely available here: http://www.nltk.org/book > > If it's Google+ or Facebook, count me out. > > Well, that would only be one dimension of what I propose, so totally avoidable if you are that averse.
