(Okay, the roundup part is a lie...) I've got a double dose of news for you folks today: I'm very excited to announce: we just welcomed our second daughter to the world! I'm also very excited to announce I've joined Twilio! Editorially, the only change is that Cameron is taking over for a while. I'm […]
Guess what - since I complained a few weeks back one of my fantasy football teams has won 4 in a row, bringing it to 5-2. The other one is a perfectly inverted 2-5. What are you gonna do? Let's do the obvious - look at some links! Links We Liked! Were you affected by […]
I spent some time today fixing a number of the calculators consuming Quandl data. Please let me know if these break again: Palladium Price Calculator Platinum Price Calculator Silver Price Calculator Any House Return Calculator Can You Afford it Calculator? Bitcoin Return Calculator Dividend Reinvestment Calculator, Any Stock The Graham Number calculator and Stock Fundamentals […]
Thanks for hearing out my frustration with the fantasy teams last weekend - I won in both leagues! Now, of course, I'm paranoid - was that a false start to lull me into a sense of security to get blown out the rest of the season? Never a dull moment... (I know, 2 Weekenders in […]
My fantasy football teams? Not living up to the hype so far - I'm 0-3 in one league and 1-2 in another. When do you all start trying to make some pivots? Week 4? 6? Here's what we liked this week! Links We Liked! The WSJ repots people are moving out of high cost states […]

Weekender to Weekender!? What's the deal? Yeah, give it a few weeks - the site isn't going anywhere (you folks made us too popular for that to be an option, haha - thanks!). The current real life interference will only run for so long. That's a promise. Note my Twitter production has declined as well. […]
Every time an Olympics wraps up, we've got a silly tradition here on DQYDJ where we calculate some of the more dubious adjusted medal counts proposed to 'level' out the successes of various countries. There is some value with taking a shot(put?) at this - a proper adjustment would be great, and we're not going […]
Since we don't have the Olympics for an excuse now, it's a shame there hasn't been a Weekender lately. Let's correct that with a quick roundup of all the stuff we've been reading in the last little-bit-more-than-a-week, shall we? So, here's what we've been reading. Let us know what you've read recently in the comments! […]
Happy Summer Olympics 2016! Did you, like us, stay up for the entire opening ceremony? We're going to be either glued to the television or, at least, have it on in the background for Olympics time... so, through the 21st I guess it is. Good luck to all the athletes! Here's something funny, since rugby […]
