Writings
An ongoing collection of some of my pieces of writing around four main categories:
- Data has everything related to data analysis in the broad sense.
- Reflections gathers all random or thoughtful observations about the world.
- Pleasure discusses sports, music, and other hobby-oriented topics.
- Announcements spreads the occasional important information.
