I am ostensibly a data geek. Apparently always have been. Although, at times it has been by default. Take for instance when I worked at the US Department of Justice. I could add, I could create graphs and I could (more or less) explain the numbers. Bingo. I […]
This year I flew more than 40,000 miles. I flew countless of flights and was delayed more times than I can count or remember. This year, started using waze (the gps app) in order to figure out how to get around Los Angeles in a quicker manner. By […]
