Shostakovich & SviridovCategory: music
I am back to my non-stop waltz listening mode.
I found this slightly lower key version so earthy after years of listening to the über-flashy Rieu version. :)
And this is a waltz by the lesser known Sviridov. It sounds so very similar to Shostakovich's Valse No. 2, but it is faster in pace and more energetic!
PS: The Sviridov waltz video is especially for (e:Paul). :)

First one I listened to as I read a few things on facebook..... It sounds like one of those machines a bit or I should say that those music machines sound like it....
Watching the second one now..... It does fit today if we lived in the country or old time USA!

The Island SpatulaCategory: the odes
A spatula to whack all the other spatulas to the ground.
It could be exactly what I have in mind. But then when did a picture ever tell the truth? We will see how it holds up in my kitchen warfront.

That's a cool idea, maybe we could cook together! I have heard you are an expert. :^) I could pick up some tips from you.

Does look interesting I love the Part about hard work.... Maybe cause I'm going to do a post about loyalty and work.... Or maybe it is because I know that many Americans are lazy and don't want to work hard so Companies go to places where the labor is cheap or where the work is better like Japan and Steel.....

The year ahead.Category: goals
2012 is going to my best year thus far.
I just decided that it will be so it better be.
Top 10 lessons that I learnt in 2011.
1. Data analyses is 95% data cleaning and variable definition.
2. R is fun and liberating.
3. Perl is even more fun but it's funny and weird and super tough to learn.
4. I have a massive crush on Hadley Wickham. Mostly because he is the ggplot2 creator. And maybe also because he has a website of family recipes and oh, a really informative website manual for ggplot2. Is this as impractical a crush as the Rahm Emanuel phase? Well... slightly less because I might actually get to meet him someday... but on the whole, big check.
5. ggplot2 is a fascinating way to think about data.
6. FlowingData is one of my favourite inspirations. It replaces aldaily (which, unfortunately, I have been steadily ignoring).
7. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. You just need to find the switch - which is often right on the darkly shrouded wall behind you.
8. Linux is not so much a monster as a friendly devil. I prefer linux as my primary OS. Surprise.
9. I love my family. They are the best anyone could ever hope for and of course, the only ones I have.
10. Surprisingly, I like documentaries way more than movies.

What do you think? It said you +1'ed snow!
{I think you +1'ed (e:strip) at some point (and you are not surprisingly all over my contact lists and my chat lists), so it flags you every time I search for something you have blogged about here. Pretty cool, if you ask me. I get to read your past thoughts on random crazy topics.}
What did it say when you clicked on me?
