I’ve started a new blog. it’s a google doc. If you want the link, ask me, at racketracer@gmail.com

Just want to get better at writing and communicating stories without feeling terrible about judging people in my writing. HA

Haven’t been back here in a while. Don’t know why I decided now. Probably won’t read anything on my feed. I just feel strange....

Lot’s of life changes in the past month so I guess that it makes sense. Contrary to popular belief, people grow in adulthood. They probably grow all the time until they die, mentally that is. Imagine 80 year olds smacking themselves in the head about something they did when they were 70.

Yeah I can’t imagine that, aren’t they resolved in dying? Meh, that got dark real fast.

Moving to racketracer.com

I figured I should switch domains sooner or later. I already have WordPress doing a site re-direct for 13 dollars a year. Ultimately I want my own domain even though I am using WordPress still. Subscribe to racketracer.com as fast as you can!

Atmosphere: An air quality monitor wearable

Atmosphere: An air quality monitor wearable

The final product of the quarter long capstone evolved into our device called AtmoSPHERE. Effectively it is an air quality wearable that monitors particulate 2.5,  volatile organic compounds, humidity, and temperature readings. In practical terms, it can measure the small dust particles that you can’t even see that get into your lungs, the amount of gas in the room or in your breath…

Analytics of Optimal 2-For-1 Strategy in NBA Basketball

Analytics of Optimal 2-For-1 Strategy in NBA Basketball

I was watching an NBA game when I heard Jeff Van Gundy comment on the 2 for 1 strategy in basketball. He said all the analytics guys push to take the 2 for 1 shot in every situation, but asked if it’s a tied fourth quarter Game 7 of the NBA finals, would it be smart to go for the 2 for 1 situation.

For those that don’t watch basketball, the two for one shot involves a strategic play at the end of…

To real life

Here I come. Another end of an era. One can only hope time slows down a bit...

I booked my flight to Bangkok today. Islands, Cities, Cambodia, Vietnam? South Korea, Japan.

I will for sure not be jobless! Unless I really just fuck something up big time like getting arrested. 

I’m trying to think of a social entrepreneurial project. Like finding data on Qatar’s slavery migrations. 

Lots of big decisions next month!

Wow, quite a huge last week of the quarter for me. If you guys didn't see it, but my last post on Predicting and Plotting Crime in Seattle blew up on the internet (on my standards) after Geekwire a...

I have recently been watching "The Wire" and along with my Amazon Prime membership looking better and better, it's actually given me some things to think about. Besides making me an expert police d...

I haven't really touched tumblr for a couple weeks. To be honest, reading through the daily feed was getting hard. Probably won't touch it for a while and gonna move onto the wordpress blog!

Getting busy slash not really busy at the same time. But at least at every single moment, I am doing something. 

There's some correlation with lots of tabs open and busyness.

I think I've started around 5 posts and then just drafted them halfway through. All little tid-bits of life here and there that I always got interrupted on in-between to more important priorities. ...

I wanted to introduce some practical methods of scraping using ScraPy as well as create a README for the Craiglist scraper code. I thought the documentation was initially a little confusing. I also...
