Welcome to my site! I hope to populate this page with fun data analysis and ridiculous data collection methodology I’ve been working on over the years. Some stuff I’m currently working on:

  • Collecting 7 million Twitter geoObjects over an entire month to see if they paint a map
  • Shortest path algorithms applied to the Japanese overground train network
  • Mathematically drawing virtual subway extensions which piggyback on the “thru service” contract lines in the Toei Subway and Tokyo Metro networks
  • Mapping my transit activity over the year and see how implementing distance-based pricing would change my travel
  • I’m keeping a travel diary over the entire year
  • I’m booking flights on Air Canada that have a tendency to be overbooked and trying to make money from getting bumped thanks to the new Passenger Bill of Rights
  • Me racing the LRT and winning
  • What if McDonald’s had a loyalty program like Marriott Bonvoy?

The best way to keep track of my activity is to follow or connect with me on LinkedIn!

EDIT April 2: I’m also experimenting with tooltips inline for acronyms and other technical info that I’d like to include in blog! But learning CSS is proving to be a bit difficult. My latest success:

Air Canada 3 Vancouver (YVR) to Tokyo-Narita (NRT) @ 13:50
