What is the healthiest state in the continental United States? Take a guess? Have something in mind? Great! What is it? When looking at some data obtained from The ReadWriteWeb and Tableau Public Challenge website on “Activity Rates and Healthy Living” it had some eye openers. When taking account several factors, it appears that overall [...] I have been playing with Tableau Public lately. Certainly a worthy addition to the Datageek arsenal. They were so kind as to supply some data to play with. This post concerns the Venture Capital Investments made in 2009. There are many ways to look at this information. As I was looking for trends and patterns in this data [...] Over the last couple of days I came across several websites that will track personal information and visualize it for you. I have not had the chance to check them all out for a proper review, but I wanted to get them out there if you have an interest.

You [...] I have just started playing an old online game called EVE Online. I was in the mood for a spaced based MMORPG and have really missed Earth & Beyond since EA pulled the plug many years ago. EVE Online seemed more complicated and harder to get into. However the more I look into it the more [...] I wanted to give you all a little heads up on a project I am working on. As you know I consider myself a data-geek. I love finding large or unique data sets and seeing what stories then tell. Not too long ago I was at the local library and realized that there must be some wonderful stories to tell in the data that the library collects.
