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.
I was traveling for business to Monterey, CA from my office near Las Cruces, NM with flight in/out of San Jose, CA. While refueling the rental auto at a gas station very close to San Jose Airport, I looked on the other side of the pump and there was one of my co-workers from NM -- also refueling his rental auto. However, he was not on business, he was about half way through his two-week vacation driving through various wine-making regions of CA. We just happened to pick the same pump, same gas station, same town and same time.
