  1. I am digging this visualization of your life in weeks. I might have to go so far as to actually make one for myself.
  2. I’m very excited about the new podcast TalkingMachines and what an awesome name! I wish someone would do that same thing for applied statistics (Roger?)
  3. I love that they call Ben Goldacre the anti-Dr. Oz in this piece, especially given how often Dr. Oz is telling the truth.
  4. If you haven’t read it yet, this piece in the Economist on statisticians during the war is really good.
  5. The arXiv celebrated it’s 1M paper upload. It costs less to run than the top 2 executives at PLoS make. It is too darn expensive to publish open access right now.
