Personal/health/financial issues have taken their toll. But it&#8217;s not all bad news. I had a great interview on Monday with a statistician who does work for a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so it&#8217;s been a while. But I promise, I&#8217;ve been busy with other things, among them, getting rejected for funding for next year. i applied for a research fellowship with one of the research projects here at UCSB and they turned me down, despite me being excessively qualified for it. I&#8217;d get into it [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m still caught up in fellowship application hell, but after tomorrow I should be in the clear. I&#8217;d write some more now, but today [...]]]></description>

One is a pretty prominent figure in the world of sabermetrics and another is a blogger for a popular blog that uses and writes a lot about sabermetrics. Both are what I would consider to be [...]]]></description>

However, &#8220;stats geeks&#8221; are mentioned specifically as a group to be derided. I guess I could maybe say that the deployment of the stats geek as a trope does show [...]]]></description>

This includes one statistician who works for a MLB franchise, two journalists for national media outlets, and one major figure in the history of sabermetrics. In some ways, I wish that there wasn&#8217;t any confidentiality issues [...]]]></description>
