Postcards from Mapes Creek was the coolest thing on Seattle on a 90 degree record heat day. Thank you Jim O'Halloran and Susan Pascal for the music, Sarah Koenig and Matt Trease for the poems.

I hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

Excel and R like the furnace and the anvil: get the data softened up in Excel, then hammer it into something rigorous, beautiful and clear. Also alternate between the two as needed #excel #r #rstudio

humanities a subset of the liberal arts

the old Spark mail app is so much better than the new one. i would pay good money for them to keep developing it

"These emissions are largely unregulated by legislation and the study found that these 'non-exhaust' pollution sources are now responsible for the majority of vehicle particulate matter emissions in the UK and parts of Europe, with brake dust the main contributor among them."
