birthdays, meetings

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

My mother's son, son-in-law and godson all had the same birthday--Feb. 14th I walked down the Ulica Placa in Dubrovnik and met the sister of a friend at school (in UK). On a small boat touring Windermere with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, we met a couple on the boat with us who came from their small town in California. I was entering the local post office when two women unknown to each other came out. Both recognized me from a picture in the local paper, and approached me to say they enjoyed my books. This in a city of 150,00+.
