Weekly geekery

Statistics

• Taking the bias out of crowd counting.  (Tip from the Geek Press)
• A bad vita trumps bad statistics.  (Outraged tip from The Endeavour)
• Doing statistical graphics?  Worry about color.  (Tip from the Endeavour)

Security

• Typosquatting.  (Tip from the Geek Press)

Food and Drink

• We took my sister-in-law out to dinner at Il Sogno a couple of weeks back, and discovered a tasty green pea pesto.  I’ve reverse-engineered it:
• 2 cups fresh peas (a small bag of frozen ones worked fine)
• 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
• 6 mint leaves (to taste)
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• dash of salt
• Pulse in a food processor to chunky, not smooth.

Politics

• The ugly truth about candidates “throwing their support” to competitors.  Plus some comments on the current Republican field. (How could anyone have EVER been serious about Tim Pawlenty for President?  C’mon, President T-PAW?  Really?)
