As I waited for my coworker's response for data, I:
- took a #mondaycom course on API
- created my own API's using #RStats and #AWS_EC2
- extracted pop info from tiff to geojson
- analyzed census data
- created a simple #appsheets app
- created a demo #shinyapps using #voronoi areas and #openrouteservice pois and isochrones
- and several other minor chores

and I believe I still have to wait...
