I Had a TI-86, Making Me Better Than Everyone Else by 3.

I had this exact same conversation with my girlfriend yesterday when we were at Staples:


I saw that TI-83+s were $99…which is the same price they were when I was buying them for High School back in 1999 (oh, sorry everyone who thought I was older/younger than that).

My Eyes! They Burn From The Data!

So, on the Twitter this morning, Mike Cody posted a link to some sweet, sweet data porn. And it was awesome.

And the results make my EYES BURN WITH DATA. The team breakdown is pretty sweet, though.

It’ll be interesting to see how this looks by the end of the tour.
