Its been a while since I’ve published anything here so I thought I’d take a little bit of time while I have it to throw out an update, and let anyone who is curious know that I have not in fact fallen off of the face of the Earth.

What have I been up to you may ask? I have had a research project in the works for some time now which I hope to be sharing with you soon, however it has been slow in coming due to a scarcity of data, a more abstract concept and increasing demands for my attention elsewhere. In addition to increasing demands from my day job I have also taken up learning to program in the software programming language of Python, which as someone who does not come from an IT background has been somewhat of a challenge and has taken up much of my free time as of late.

While I expect to remain entrenched in the process of picking up the finer nuances of the Python language for at least the next month or so, I hope also to be able to set aside some time to bring some more updates to this somewhat neglected site in the coming weeks on topics both familiar and new. So for anyone curious to learn about what the U.S. economy can be expected to do in the beginning of 2016, or about the equitability of purchasing naming rights to major league sports venues, stay tuned! It (hopefully) won’t be long.
