Landed in Indy with some @innovationut.bsky.social fellows on our way to #NICAR26. Saw folks from the @texastribune.org and @kxan.com also repping Texas news orgs … It’s time to learn!
If you are in Indy and want to learn about a really nifty data cleaning tool OpenRefine, take my hands-on #NICAR26 session on Saturday morning! schedules.ire.org/nicar-2026/#...
I'm headed to #NICAR26 this week with a bunch of @innovationut.bsky.social students so we can learn about more tools and stories to tell using data and other tech. So ... I may do more posting than ... well, almost none. We gonna get nerdy.
I have to say, it has been a while since the pipe, code, dogs and coffee have all been together.

OK, I had to do it. Here are the Top 5 spending teams over the past five years.

Damn … wish I had time today to update my analysis, too.
The quality _after_ picking up the ball from the sideline was quite attractive. ⚽️ 🥅
While disappointed, am I surprised? Not really.
BREAKING: MLS announces updated All-Star roster…. Lionel Messi is not on it.
Messi will not play tonight.
Avoiding all the curse words I want to shout right now. I way overpaid for my tickets to see him for just 20 mins, and now he skips the whole thing? A huge disappointment.
And 3-2 #austinfc
OK, now it is fun.
We’re here, among the few. You don’t want to be seeing this.
It has definitely been a tough season. It has been fun to watch the women play, though. That is a team.
A scatter plot displaying Major League Soccer teams charted by the number of total goals scored in 2025 (y-axis) and the percentage of goals returning to the team's roster (x-axis).
1/ We’re back for season 5! We spent the offseason pondering whether it’s pronounced data or data. As a programming note, we’ll no longer be posting on X and are committing to this platform! We have a ton of great stuff in store for you all this year. Without further ado: New Team, Who Dis?
Mint > barcode in my list. Otherwise, ya.
If you went to the Creek Show along Waller Creek last year you may remember the school of fish at the end. We bought one of the lamps and picked it up this past weekend. The experience was a delight, as is the lamp. Video makes lighting seem harsh, but it isn’t.
What’s up with video removal?
@eliotmckinley.com what source are you using for the 2025 rosters?
Happy Birthday, Mr. Burns.

I have lots of hope for Positron and want to jump on it. I could even personally live with the Render to see options myself, but as an educator I keep remembering it was that instant feedback that made difference for me as a novice coder.
Does Positron display code results in-line? That is kind of the killer feature of RStudio. I absolutely love the VS Code-like platform … just want that instant feedback like Jupyter.
Why can I add a GMail widget to my iPhone lock screen, but I can’t add a widget for Mail, Apple’s default app? Mail is not an option under Add Widget.
N …. Just kidding .. of course, YES!
It was excellent, filled with family time and good food.
I’m still kicking myself for missing out on Motörhead in my youth.
Twice today I’ve read references to Barack Obama having a routine for dress so he can concentrate on more important things. My favorite was in relation to setting up R projects in a standard structure. I totally subscribe to this theory (though I admit it is evolving). #rstats
