Interesting when big insurance is involved in the planning and adjusting for risk, the story is more concrete to the average person.

The mainstream media is already normalizing Donald Trump.

I’m studying data visualization in hopes of creating bespoke data visualization art. I’m working in JavaScript and the d3.js library. My goal is to create a portfolio of art that not only demonstrates the past, but also the present: decisions being made and the potential future. #dataart #CLE

Do people actually enjoy putting up Christmas lights? Or am I the only one over here like a mix of Clark Griswold and that grouchy “Now why the hell are they blinking?” guy from The Twelve Pains of Christmas. I’m not quite at “Fine. You’re so smart, YOU rig up the lights,” but I’m close.
