Reporting in snow is fun. I'll miss the mix of attending meditations and services, then exploring programming/coding. That's my DC life.

Nice R tutorial - recommend it if you're looking for an intro from the very beginning. http://www.cyclismo.org/tutoria...

@mpacatte Ha, it's weird being further south. Can't decide if the obscenely warm Dec. weather here makes me delighted or long for Chicago.

Hear kitchen back home is almost remodeled. Excited to cook w/new appliances, and glad construction was while I was gone.

(cont.) but that doesn't count the upcoming ind. study w/ @richgor. But knowing I *could* be graduating now is exciting/frightening.

On the way back from last National Press Club taco + drink night. :( Oh, how far we've come from hanging out at Nevin's in Evanston.

@mattmansfield is using Fetch to demo FTPing for a Wordpress install. First time I've seen the running dog in a long while.

In other news, my phone charger seems to have wandered away somewhere between the newsroom and the house. That can't be good.

@NYTimesSkimmer Best part is that it doesn't force you to only read snippets, but provides many points of entry to the in-depth we love.

@GEOpdx I'm a journalism student interested in learning more about #wigis, @amandahstaub sent me your way.

@AnthonyDB I would say modern times demand a cultural shift. It's not the demise of journalism, but demise of complacency and status quo.

@greglinch Well, does it count if @derekwillis is in the newsroom? Because it's final data project marathon on Tues. Opportunity knocks!

@greglinch @mattmansfield Yes, cupcakes were very gourmet! Only slightly softened the blow of it being the last class. Which is sad.

@stevebuttry Would also hold up Everyblock and gen. govt reporting as examples, but maybe the latter is too distinctly American?
