#OpenSource #DataNerd

Out of sheer boredom this evening…I decided to OCR and spreadsheet my beverage container recycling from the last few days - which accounted for about 3yrs worth of beverage consumption.

Given a 20% estimate for out of home consumption and recycling - I’ve spent an estimated AUD 6000 on pre-packaged beverages across that time, and consumed an estimated 1,300 litres in the process.

post christmas I want to make a google sheet to tally out how many stories I finished and shared in some manner, and how many words I've managed to write. #DataNerd

Data Nerd: Mapping Vancouver’s Bike Racks

Updated on 2016-04-12 to include 2013-2015 data.

The City of Vancouver made its bike rack data public yesterday. The data is divided into 4 spreadsheets, which isn’t terribly useful. The only interesting tidbit is the exponential growth in bike lane installations. Vancouver now has 1468 bike racks at 1119 locations throughout the city.

In the all the years up until 2009, 676 bike racks were installed.
In 2010: 52
In 2011: 197
In 2012: 543
In 2013: 138
In 2014: 148
In 2015: 422

But without a map, that doesn’t tell the full story. The map above is an interactive google map.

Note: The dataset uses addresses to identify the bike racks, so it’s not perfect when you zoom in.

Friends, don’t make the same mistakes I’ve made: always use replication slots for your #PostgreSQL standbys 🤦

My 7-year old collected 32 conkers while we out for a walk this morning (still not quite sure they all fitted into his pockets).

Nerdy dad saw the opportunity to introduce him to basic descriptive statistics. He weighed each conker and I set him up with Numbers on his iPad so he could create his first ever spreadsheet.

He seemed quite comfortable learning about basic functions to work out things like sum, average, min and max.

🎞️ How many degrees to Kevin Bacon?

I processed nearly 4 million actor-to-movie pairings to build a complete collaboration graph. Then ran shortest-path logic to see how connected a few stars are.

✅ Jon Hamm? 2 degrees.
✅ Brie Larson? 2 degrees.
✅ Jodie Foster? You guessed it—2.

🍳 This is part of my "Degrees of Bacon" series—drop 4 is here!
Built using public data + a love for film.

I have also been looking for a blogging platform to host some stories about my selfhosting adventures

I'm currently looking into Ghost CMS as I used it in the past, but I am open to new outlooks

My requirements are:
- Must be opensource
- Loads of statistics (I'm a data nerd after-all)
- Lightweight'ish
- Simple design
- No Wordpress

Bonus if I can sync posts with a git repo (one way or another)
