I am beyond excited to be on my way to #NICAR14. And @sc68cal, I hope to be inspired to learn to analyze data with code.

So many sessions. So little time.
Another look at #NICAR14 schedule, and it’s decided: I need to be in at least 4 places at once. Gonna get Hermione Granger up in here.

Everything on the #NICAR14 schedule just looks sooo good! It’s like a cake shop.

I spent an hour planning my #NICAR14 schedule. Is there a session on how to be in two places at once?

Up next: Detecting corporate fraud, a special workshop sponsored by the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.
Sunny here for #NICAR 2014. Do the weather gods love Baltimore, data journalists or both? Talking filings, fraud at 2pm for @BizJournalism.
