My family and me. On Tuesday, July 24, 2012. In my last post. I documented the trials and tribulations of getting spork. Working properly with RSpec. And a solution I devised to the problems.

My family and me. Test driving Socrata for Open Data. On Monday, October 29, 2012. The Queensland Police Service recently published some data. About reported offences from July 1997 to June 2012. I was interested to see how Socrata. Would handle that data. Here’s the results. Note that the graph is only displaying the first few years worth of data. Also note that this experiment was conducted for personal enlightenment purposes only! Larr; Spork to Spin. Last reply was Tuesday, October 30, 2012.

My family and me. When spork puts a fork in your cucumber and a spanner in your specs. On Friday, July 20, 2012.

My family and me. On Economics, philosophy and politics. Of Thanksgiving Turkeys and Black Swans. On Saturday, January 01, 2011. A couple of months ago I finished reading The Black Swan (TBS) by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. I suspect I’ll read it again sometime.
