Building a #Shiny app with #RStats to track real-time train arrivals at my local station was satisfying and did the job I wanted.

But getting a small touchscreen to have it all run locally on an unused #RaspberryPi makes it *unspeakably* enjoyable.

I made a useful toy!

From shower idea to #Shiny app in 2 days. 😅 Little late for last week’s #TidyTuesday but I couldn’t stop adjusting! Movable Data Type explores Gutenberg data across backends, comparing structure, running queries, and visualizing distributions. #RStats #SQL jmclawson.shinyapps.io/movable-data...

The Zen of CSS Design was published 20 years ago next week, and I still own my copy.

To mark the occasion, I performed a little CSS magic: modern pseudo-classes add progressive reveal in a WebR learnr tutorial.

My zen gardens now grow #RStats, but CSS is perennial.

Proof that I sometimes emerge from the shadows of social media: a blog post about using Python and R to analyze Bluesky posts... about Python and R. Truly, the ouroboros of sentiment analysis. 🐍📊 #Python #RStats jmclawson.net/posts/bluesk...

Apologies for what must seem like weird post spam. I’m troubleshooting a bot 🤖 and assumed Bluesky would follow Twitter behaviors for hiding away posts beginning with a mention. 🙃
