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). This stable price was contrasted by the 500gb external hard drive sitting one aisle over. Single gigabyte drives didn’t even exist for consumers in 1999!

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.

Being a data junkie, I asked if he could color code that data. And he did!

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.

Loungin’

Came into work to discover that someone mysteriously delivered an overstuffed living room set to my department.

Booyah.

HI THERE BLOGS!

So if you subscribe to my blog and suddenly see a PILE OF POSTS from the last two months, that’s because I finally fixed an RSS issue that I had and I’d been avoiding dealing with.

So enjoy the bloggage.

Transitive Property of Victims

So the most recent road-results.com points list/calculation was just run by the Internet. If you don’t know what the points list is, it is an Internet number that says how good you are.

Anyway, in analyzing that my ranking ONCE AGAIN plummeted and amusing myself with an updated list of victims/nemeses, I discovered the TRANSITIVE PROPERTY OF VICTIMS.

Example:

Massimiliano Accaputo (who?) is one of my victims:

Chandler Delinks is one of Massimiliano’s victims:

Massimilano is my victim. Chandler is Massimiliano’s victim. Therefore, Chandler is my victim.

This is the Transitive Property of Victims. Enjoy.
