The talk by @andrew and Gabe Osterhout on "Election Night Results with R and Quarto" that inspired my #RStats code is now on YouTube! Well worth a watch if you're interested in posting ANY frequently updated data online at scale:

Election Night Reporting Using R & Quarto (Andrew Heiss & Gabe Osterhout) | posit::conf(2025)
My election night R code worked last night! 🎉! It was inspired by @andrew & Gabe Osterhout's #PositConf2025 talk about the Idaho's election website built with R, Quarto & the {targets} #RStats 📦
My results page: https://www.district2framingham.com/posts/2025-11-04-2025-framingham-election-results/
Their repo: https://github.com/andrewheiss/election-desk
This is also the first time I used the {mapgl} #RStats 📦 by Kyle Walker for a major project.

@andrew did a presentation at #Positconf2025 on updating a Quarto website with election data for the state of Idaho using the {targets} #RStats 📦. That may be a more robust workflow than you need, but it got me interested in targets for Quarto! You may want to look at his sample code? https://github.com/andrewheiss/election-desk

Does it make sense to travel to a professional conference after you've retired? I decided to find out! How it went at the #Positconf2025 data science event in Atlanta last week:

Does Traveling to a Professional Conference Make Sense if You’re Retired? – My Next Chapter: A Retirement Journey
Attending in person isn’t a trivial expense, and some usual rewards like ‘career growth’ no longer apply. But I decided to go to a data science event in Atlanta anyway.
