Yesterday I had an Epiphany. Today, not so much.

@JeffreyBreen Congrats on making the front page of R-blogger today. I’ll definitely have to use that zip code package for my choropleths.

Another App Store bargain: Photoshop reinvented package Pixelmator is normally a $59 digital download. App Store price is $29.

Apple Aperture on DVD-ROM is $199; on the App Store, it’s $79. App stores revolutionize software distribution economics big time. #yg

CES Ballmer: “Whatever device you use, Windows will be there.” Sounds to me like a threat….

The Mac app store launches tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what apps launch with it. Angry Birds for Mac anyone? #yg

@JeffreyBreen Cool beans; I can’t wait to hear what you’re running with EC2 MapReduce…..

Happy 1/1/11! The next time we get four digits in a row is February 2, 2022. Sticklers for 4 digit dates will have to wait for Feb 2, 2222.

David and friends made Famous Chocolate cookie cake. Compared with other New Years’ celebrations, it has the virtue that he’ll remember it.

Hooray! Hadley Wickham has a new #Rstats package out to process strings more elegantly. http://bit.ly/eiIMGC
