Sorry for a lack of posts lately. I’ve been doing a lot of knitting and a lot of standing around in parking lots and on bridges trying to look like I’m not trespassing so that I could take pictures of the Lufthansa plane.

I was going to write something about data structures in R, but I still have a lot more thinking and reading to do before I can say something that is both useful and not too long about that. Main idea: Everything in R seems to tacitly assume that everything you want to think about is rectangular in some sense. Which is great when you are working with spreadsheets. But not so great in other settings. More about this later.
