The most wonderful time of the year

Tags: 

It's the most wonderful time of the year when kids world-over discover the wonders and joy .. of taxonomic classification and data science.. as they sort through their Treat 'r Trick hauls and work out the best way of categorizing their loot. Some, unhappy that they cannot identify a single category for Snickers bars as it contains chocolate, caramel and peanuts, may ultimately dismiss it as a fools errand and dump their entire horde into a single bowl, eschewing traditions of yore. Others will stay the course, realizing that their solution is a new category that includes other chocolate-peanut combinations, thus discovering similarity/affinity measurements in data clustering - bravo, budding data scientists!

Netflix back with more confusing recommendations

Yesterday I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Today Netflix took that information and made some recommendations... the first three I can understand, but I don't understand why it recommended Ken Burns' documentary on the Vietnam War.

A Tale of Two Kerrygolds

I made two cups of tea, for awesomewife and myself went to get milk but we were out. We were also out of cream. So I brought the cups of black tea in to share with her. She said “add Kerrygold”. I stopped for a second and repeated - “Kerrygold?” “Yeah.” I walked to the kitchen, put down her cup, “are you sure?” “Yes.” Huh. Maybe it’s some obscure idea because Kerrygold is made from milk and it’d be like adding really, really thick cream. So I drop two blobs of Kerrygold butter into her tea and bring it back to her. Upon seeing the cup she pauses, stares, stirs it, and then said “Kerrygold?” “Yeah.” “The Kerrygold liquor bottle from up in the cabinet?” “.... oh. No.” “What did you add to my tea?” “Kerrygold. Not liquor.”

I’m only sorry I forgot to take a picture before I washed it down the sink to make her a fresh cup.

Netflix recommendations are confusing

Netflix saw that I liked Hellboy 2 so recommended Sin City, Full Metal Alchemist and.. Chicken Run? It's the best of the three recommendations, but that's beside the point - how do you get from Hellboy 2 to Chicken Run? Never mind Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.
