Nate Silver

If you were like me over the past few months, you spent a lot of time at FiveThirtyEight.com. That site was made by a guy named Nate Silver, who's a great example of what the University of Chicago can do to a mind.

Nate created 538 on a whim, applying his baseball stats skills to the election. Like us, he was interested in the election and its analysis. Like us, he liked Obama. Like us, he started a blog. Let's raise a glass to him, for having started in the same place and ended in the New York Times (etc.)
