The Book of Odds might have some interesting facts, but it is not very useful beyond that. I tried it out, attempting to compare my odds of getting skin cancer with a caucasian man my age and gave up after several minutes of trying. Interesting data presented in a list is not bad, but I kept wanting to see multiple data sets on a single graph a la Wolfram Alpha. Book of Odds would be much more interesting as data within Wolfram Alpha. Telecommute day. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Spent pretty much the whole day working on megadropdown for the facelift. It's in a pretty good state now—just have some width issues and IA issues to sort out before fade and opacity styling. Noe and Market Farmer's Market with Patrick. Dinner at Zapata with Patrick: burritos, tortilla chips.
