Where have you been?
I know I’m a dork but I love seeing graphs like this:
Verizon makes graphs of where you’ve made your cell phone calls from. It is cool to see where you’ve been and for what time periods. Without knowing the specifics.
I like data visualizations like this – it is general enough that it tells you something cool, but non-specific enough where I don’t feel violated by the amount of information that Verizon stores on my usage.

Minibar for Meli’s Birthday
Last week, we went to the famed MiniBar in DC for Melissa’s big birthday. I won’t tell you her age, you have to guess.
They served us 26 courses over 3 hours. Yes, 26 courses. Here is a smattering of some of the food we ate.
My favorite – Baby corn, scraped from the cob, smoked, gelatinized, and molded back to look like corn.
Melissa’s Favorite – Chilled tomato salsa like puree, wrapped in avocado. It really tasted like Guacamole, remarkable.
A “bloody mary”. Wow, this one packed a punch. That sliver of celery was infused with a lot of vodka, and covered in some tomato / tabasco shavings. A huge bang in your mouth.
More to come later, I have a really busy week with job related stuff, thesis related stuff, and moving related stuff. My, that’s a lot of stuff.
