Stats Is Long, Interesting

Experiments, Observational Studies & Survey Biases
First major assignment of the year; Stats 108. It's a set of questions, some of which are stupid and pointless, that takes ages to answer. I've already written over 2,000 words with 2 of the 5 sections still to go (albeit both are more graphs and charts etc. so it shouldn't be too much more writing... I hope). But given how long its taking, it's actually surprisingly interesting on the whole. I think I'll take a few more stats papers in future.

Good Night, And Good Luck
Good movie. Very good in fact. Glad to see there is still a market for films like these given they haven't made them like this very often since the glorious days of 70s film drama. My mouth waters just thinking about that era...

This movie is quite reminiscent of All The President's Men, the ending in particular, though GNGL is a little less conventional than even that equally not-over-dramatised reporters vs powerful persons drama. Tis truly another great effort by Clooney (after the promising direction applied to the mostly average Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind; think Francis Lawrence's stand-out style in Constantine but on a less-substance-lacking scale in COADM).

Google
Today Google found me a picture of a cute little hamster and his rifle. Awwww.
