  I went to hear Nate Silver speak last Tuesday as part of his UK speaking tour. You may have heard of him: an American statistician, pollster and data nerd (I’m not mocking him: there was a bloke in the audience with that written on a T-shirt. I sort of coveted it.) He correctly predicted the outcome of the most ...

  Stealthmode Blog — Authority: 116
  Yoga is the place I go to disconnect. Admittedly I have been known to check my phone for messages if I leave the yoga room for any reason, but in the room I never do.  I’m not one of the people whose phone rings randomly in mid-pose because I forgot to put it on vibrate. Lately I’ve been wearing fitness ...

• Applied Nate Silver – Unexpected/Unexplained pattern

  
  DailyDouq — Authority: 135
  Lately I’ve been having an unpleasant feeling in the morning when I do my weigh-ins. The first number I see looks “good” (meaning what I want, i.e. lower than previous day) but then the numbers bounce up. By the time I’ve got enough for an average I’m feeling low because once again I’m stuck on a plateau, ...

• Nutritionism, orthorexia, and metabolic syndrome as disease du jour

  
  DailyDouq — Authority: 135
  This is the first of what I hope to have as a series of mini-essays on these related topics. If you’ve been following my posts under the Nate Silver tag I’ve certainly been obsessed with weight loss and eating and simultaneously very skeptical of most, if not all, of the nutrition information. I happened to see ...

So first the facts, or the fact: I gained 22.1lbs during vacation, or rather between the weigh-ins two ...
