I haven't posted much in years. I should get back to this. I have kept sporadic journals in electronic or paper form. As of last month, I am unemployed but still working on some programming in R. I hope to make some contributions to it or other open source software later. The job was data analyst--helping to bring the data revolution to others. But ( Read more... )

I need to sleep more. Or I need to sleep more some days. I'm going to sleep more regularly. I'm going to drink less coffee. I don't have any Endorush, and I want some.
