Carmageddon by Daniel Knowles: A Brief Review
https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2023/09/09#knowles_carmageddon

A well done, very entertaining and enlightening read.

Thinking inside the box

Dirk Eddelbuettel, R, C++, Rcpp

Well, I have taken things into MY OWN HANDS! I’ll be bringing these to #PositConf in a few weeks:
First day of teaching in a long time went off without any major disasters (I think)!

EuroBioC2023 - pre-conference @bioconductor #rstats   workshops, in Ghent on 18 and 19 September 2023, 9 am to 5 pm, right before the conference:

Introduction to genomic data analysis with R and Bioconductor - https://bioconductor.github.io/2023-09-18-BiocIntro-EuroBioc/

Analysis and Interpretation of Bulk RNA-Seq Data using Bioconductor - https://bioconductor.github.io/2023-09-18-RNASeq-EuroBioc/

Ghent University: Sep 18-19, 2023

Every time I try to close the squeaky bathroom door without waking my partner: "Stupid door, you made me look bad!"
And that's it! #jsm2023 is over and so is my dessert tour of Toronto. I probably won't do this again unless someone specifically says I should, in which case I probably will.

Rosemary Cornbread and Orange Pistachio brownies - Butter & Spice

Amazing brownies with exciting flavors! Coulda done with more cornbread (b/c Iowan), but orange and chocolate always works for me, and pistachios added nice texture.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great note to end on!

Chocolate and Yuzu Cheese Tarts - Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake

Gotta balance out the first non-chocolate entry. Smooth and creamy, actually preferred the citrus-y yuzu (apparently a limited edition). Crust is amazing, just firm enough to make it finger food.

You know it's good if I pick it over chocolate.

Chocolate Walnut Cookie - Le Gourmand

Absolutely top-notch cookie. Chewy and delicious the whole way through. I snuck in as they were closing and it's worrying to think how close I came to missing out.

Top 3, minimum

Heaven on Earth Waffle - D Spot Dessert Cafe

Another chocolate monstrosity, another suggestive name, still totally here for it. Little heavier than the crepe, didn't have to work as hard, kinda felt like cheating.

Not that hungry, still ate way too much of it.
