indigo_rose99I have been thinking about the bigger picture.
We live in a strange and mysterious world. I have many questions about our world.
We live in a fantastic time. Today we have data available in stupendous quantities. I want to use this data to answer some of my many questions about the world around me.
Along the way, I enjoy helping other people answer their questions with their data.
It is a fascinating puzzle: To understand and communicate the questions, to organize the data that might turn into answers, to figure out the answers, to turn the answers into something we can communicate with others.
