My 2011, A Year in Review
Well, it certainly doesn’t feel like 12 months since the end of 2010! This past year has absolutely flown by! (Perhaps that’s the amount of coffee I’ve drunk…) But not without some pretty cool things happening. So I’d like to take this opportunity to take a look back and reflect on the past 12 months, for in less than 15 hours, it’ll be a thing of the past.

A Wonderful Christmas
I love Christmas! I really do. It’s the only time of year where I feel a complete sense of escapism from the real-world. I go into my own festive bubble, away from the stresses of everyday life, and I completely forget about chores, work and all that other stuff and immerse myself in the holiday season.

Finally Updated Flickr!
So… it had been about 6 months since I had last updated Flickr. So yesterday, as I had a few spare minutes to work with, I trawled through the bazillion photos I’ve taken over the Autumn and Summer to select some of my favourite shots to upload.

A Perfect Christmas Evening
I pretty much had a perfect Christmas evening yesterday. I put on my festive woollen dress, Kiki’s Delivery Service was playing on the TV, we had toasted cranberry, brie and turkey sandwiches and wrapped up most of the presents. We then headed out to the Enchanted Christmas event at Westonbirt Arboretum.

Correlation or Causation?
I just saw this interesting series of charts over on Business Week (click image to view full-size). It just goes to show that you really can force data to give you the answers you want. All you need is one leading question, and 2 simple charts, and voila you can pretty much prove anything.
Correlation may not imply causation, but it sure can help us insinuate it.
It’s pretty scary...
