I was recently re-reminded about this cookbook for eating well on a food stamp budget. I should buy a copy to support the project.
I guess there's a new ggplot2 book in the works, which is great news because the previous one is lagging too far behind the current implementation. It's going to include a chapter on programming with ggplot2, which should be fantastically helpful for beginner-intermediate level users looking to improve the efficiency of their workflow. I can't tell you how many different pieces of my recent analyses could use some work in this department, but unfortunately I can't always make the time and space to improve this meta-aspect of my work. On the flipside, I'm still in agreement with myself that Wickham's tools for R users have helped make R incredibly useful for biostatisticians, both in terms of data visualization and data manipulation. Even with my currently cumbersome scripts, I'm able to whip through carefully customized analyses pretty quickly.
This, from McSweeney's, makes me a little tired: Required Reading Essay Questions Written by a First-Year Adjunct Who Does Not Have the Time or Wherewithal to do the Required Reading. Only funny because it's sadly true.
A friend who has been going through insanely hellacious cancer treatments recently posted a link to information about the Fallacy of Relative Privation. I'm still chewing over the idea, but I'm grateful for the introduction
