I have several pages about my teaching, my research, and a few rants and raves.

Bob Stine and I have an on line fast regression algorithm for you to play with.

If you are feeling in a darker mood, look at the mortality calculator that Lyle Ungar, Choong Tze Chua and I created.

We have started creating some eigenwords.

I'm a supporter of open access of science to everyone. Hence I will only referee for journals that satisfy the open access guidelines of the public library of science. Basically, this means papers must be placed on the web (for free access to all) within a "reasonable" time of being published. I urge everyone to join in this movement. (An interesting blog and comment , pricing.) A similar argument (.pdf) can be applied to software.

Adi Wyner and I worked on a blog on politically incorrect statistics for awhile.
