In order to continue my daily blog posting I have decided to setup some structure. Sundays will be my “day of rest”. Instead of posting new thoughts/stories I will make it a summary, or recap, of what I’m doing and what I’m planning in the future.
What I’m Doing
- I spent a bulk of my weekend researching data analysis for my P&PDP. I have taken a couple courses at Big Data University, one on big data in general, another on the data analysis programming language R. I am continuing my research with further development in R.
- I am working on a blog post about the future: Our jobs today and what they’ll look like in the future, what happens when technology eats our jobs, big data is here(!) but so is praxeology (the study of human action), and why I’m an optimist. Expect a post within the week.
What I’m Reading
At the moment I am reading Self Control or State Control (I highly recommend, and it’s Zero-Priced). Next up is Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel.
