I was at a watch site here in the Bay Area last night so I was off the grid (and wagon! :ohmy: ). I want to let you know what a BIG hit your website was at our table. I had it on my phone the whole evening and swiped from game to game. Everybody would check in with the progress. I don't know the algorithm and such, but we all loved the site. Thanks Doc!

That's Nate Silver's site. It started as a political forecasting/probabilities site associated with the NY Times. It's evolved since then to look at sports, etc. One of my favorite sites, indeed!

Silver's da man! He has a book out called "The Signal and the Noise," which I'm reading right now. Interesting stuff for stat heads. :)
