Big Data, Plainly Spoken (aka Numbers Rule Your World)

My review of Jim Albert's book Visualizing Baseball is on the sister blog. As I mentioned in the review, I thought a more appropriate title should be "Fast Intro to Baseball Analytics". Thus, the book may be of interest to some of the readers here.

Over the past year, I've been experimenting with the video medium. Here are some clips on various topics:

Analyzing observational data, containing a good example of using critical thinking

Alarming college admissions statistic, a nice example of data driving behavior in a feedback loop

Did you betray your friend today?, which explores how data flow through businesses

Two-part exploration of route optimizing apps like Waze: why they might not give you the fastest route, and why these apps are still great

To keep track of future releases, subscribe to our channel.
