So I’m teaching a new course at the Justice Institute starting today – a online statistics course! Clearly, hanging out with Dr. Dan, statistician extraordinaire, has rubbed off on me. Also, almost everyone I’ve told that I’m going to be teaching at the Justice Institute has said, “The Justice League?” I wonder if I can get […]
Here is a quick summary of my blog stats for 2010 ((to see previous years’ nerd stats postings, click the year in the table)): 2008 2009 2010 % change from 2009 Blog postings: 423 357 344 -4% Tweets: 2,227 1,815 2302 ((note to self: You started blogging in 2008, so you get these totals by […]
I totally should have posted this at 11:11:11 a.m. , but I was too busy preparing to go jump into the freezing cold ocean. So I’m posting it at 11:11:11 p.m. instead, because that is the way I roll. 2011 promises to be a year full of numbery goodness. Exciting numbery days this year will […]
So December 29 seems like a pretty good time to steal this year-in-review type meme from Cath’s blog. The idea is to post the first line of the first blog posting of each month of the year (and the name of each month is a link to the full posting). But I’m not much of one […]
Over on Cath’s blog, she picks her favourite comments every week for her “Bragging Rights Central.” Well, as it turns out, I’m in the running for “Comment of the Year” for the time I told the story of the cursed chocolate bar in response to one of her blog postings ((you can see my original […]
When there is a slow driver impeding my progress in the fast lane ((why do people insist on driving slowly in the fast lane? I mean, what do they get out of it? Surely they must get something out of it, since they do it ALL. THE. TIME.)), I wave my hand and say in […]
A couple of weeks ago Dr. Dan invited me to beta test a site that a friend of his created. I’ve been *dying* to tell all y’all about it (mostly because I’m usually the last person to hear about anything and it’s fun to be among the first), but I was sworn to secrecy until […]
In addition to the chili peppers, I decided that my Christmas tree needed one more thing, which I made this weekend: The Flying Spaghetti Monster now graces my tree. May he touch you with his noodly appendage this Holiday season.
So 151 days ago I started the 365 photo challenge – and have taken a photo of myself every single day since then ((well, I haven’t taken today’s yet. But I still have time)). A disproportionate amount of them are in my bed, since many days I only remember to do it at the end […]
photo © 2009 Zhao ! | more info (via: Wylio) So yesterday I was reading Kalev’s blog and followed his link and then another link and ended up watching this video about Inbox Zero. At the start of the video, Merlin Mann, the Inbox Zero guy, talks about his very first email account. And it […]
