Useless Writing: October 2014

http://ticknart.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Once was lost and still ain't found. Monday, October 13, 2014. On TV, death can be funny and it can beautiful even when it's horrific, but it's rarely sad. In life, death is never beautiful. It is always sad and often horrific, but it is never beautiful and only "funny" in the Darwin Awards. Yet in my head I see stark, contrasting colors and unique environments. On the brain side, well, I'm ready to take a trip to Utah. Sunday, October 12, 2014. I haven't read a book in over three weeks. I honestly don't...

Useless Writing: May 2015

http://ticknart.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Once was lost and still ain't found. Monday, May 25, 2015. I was, too. Ever since that day, going to work and staying at work has been very hard for me to do. I have spent much time looking at the classes she offers, but most are during the day now. Way back when she was only a part time teacher and her classes all took place in the evening. But how do I justify to my boss and then her boss, the Warden, missing six hours of work each week? How do I make those hours up without wanting to poke my eyes out?

Rise of the Data Scientist. As we’ve all read by now, Google’s chief economist Hal Varian commented. In January that the next sexy job in the next 10 years would be statisticians.

Sexy Skills of Data Geeks. I won’t rehash the post, but here are the three skills that Michael highlights:. Oh, but there’s more…. And after two...

Jonathan Scott Miller: Bee-lieve It or Not

http://jonathanscottmiller.blogspot.com/2015/08/bee-lieve-it-or-not.html

Friday, August 07, 2015. Bee-lieve It or Not. We can thank the beekeepers for maintaining the honeybee colony population in the face of colony collapse disorder. The blog post doesn't discuss the fact that the number of bee colonies is still way down from a 1989 high, nor the ecosystem effects (if any) of beekeepers' more rigorous application of the traditional methods for replacing lost colonies. It does discuss the increase in the price of honey which seems to have been caused by these efforts.

Jonathan Scott Miller: Of Lions and Poachers

http://jonathanscottmiller.blogspot.com/2015/08/of-lions-and-poachers.html

Friday, August 07, 2015. Of Lions and Poachers. Brent Stapelkamp, the UK researcher who has been tracking Cecil (and other lions) for years in Zimbabwe, does not want a ban on lion hunting. Hunting can be a valuable component to conservation. If a property has a hunting quota and that money comes back from hunting into the management of the land, it's not going to be at risk," he said. So we have to be careful. The world reaction might polarise things and hunting might be banned outright.
