Graphs!
I really should start posting again.
Look at this interesting graph of "Interest over time" for the terms:
+ Telemark
+ Alpine Touring
+ Backcountry
Maybe I should use the blog as a place to publicly declare my 2016 Resolutions! Avoiding the shame of publicly failing has always been a strong motivator for me. But I'm not sure it should be ... so maybe I won't post them.
Oh well - for now it's always fun to look back on the year of music, and make a top-10 list:

And here's my latest viz I posted Tableau Public, looking at reported Bicycle Collision Data for the Seattle area.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Mardis Gras season is here, so it's time to put a fork in this and share it with the world.
Here's a Viz built from 2 years of playlist data from WWOZ, the Greatest Station in the Universe!
My take-aways:
+ WWOZ plays lots of great music.
+ I'm going to try to Listen on Thursdays from 11-12, to hear more bands like the HOT 8 BRASS BAND, who I'm digging right now.
Enjoy!

Trying to keep up with Louise
So, Louise has a blog now (her third, I think), and a Pinterest page, so she has shamed me in to updating out family blog. I guess 1-year between posts is long enough.
Life is good.
It's Sunday morning. Lisa is playing the Piano right now, trying out the Re-Introduction Etudes by Chilly Gonzales.
Our Kitchen is remodeled.
I enjoy helping Louise with her homework, especially when I can create a data visualization in Tableau for it!
And Speaking of work, I saw this Trogdor scrawled on a white board, which just about made my week.
And ... hopefully it won't be over a year before my next post. 'Til then - thanks for visiting!
