Just In Time Design
We don’t perfect design in our programming until we’re sure we’re going to keep it. Here is a link to the article from 2003 that impressed me, which I mentioned in the video.

Don’t trade your life for stuff: #9 of 55 things I’ve learned
Let’s make a deal. Would you trade me 30 years of your life for this house in Malibu? Say, you are 25 now, so, instead of living to 78, you’d live to be 48. Would you trade? If I threw in a really nice car, all the newest computers, iPhones, big-screen TVs and a new…

Mixed Models Workshop – My notes in tweets
Wednesday, I went to a workshop, Mixed Models for Professors. It was a combination of discussion of the mathematics of mixed models, using SAS Enterprise Guide and examples for teaching. Since I was too lazy to actually take notes, I just tweeted it. Three useful pieces of advice, even if you don’t like my notes:…

Logistic regression using SAS On-Demand with SAS Enterprise Guide – a movie and a rant
If you have a mad desire to do logistic regression with SAS On-Demand with SAS Enterprise Guide, here is a movie that shows how to do it. It is a .avi file so you may want to just download it and run it on your PC. Here is why the movie is not all that…

My not-quite-year of code
I decided about a year ago that it was time to write an educational game to teach math. None of the languages I knew were an optimal choice for this. I’d been programming in SAS for 30 years and it’s an excellent choice for processing the data that come in from pre-tests, student answers and…

Start-up Life: Day 1 or Day 7,832
We shipped. Again. It was not everything I wanted to go into version 1.1 but we had four days to get it installed on all of the computers being used at our test site and one of those days was being taken by FedEx to get our flash drive to North Dakota and the other…

Why a math game?
Hey, kids, wanna come over after school and study math? The two students we gave this tempting offer stayed until the office closed and we had to leave. It’s been like that all week. This is what kids playing our new math game look like. I would insert a video but it is not so…

How (not) to be annoying
Okay, young people, the time has come for us to have a serious discussion. When I was young, I was very annoying. Now that I am old, I am frequently annoyed, proving thereby that God has a sense of humor. I think pretty often the people who are annoying me are not doing so deliberately….

Problems with SAS On-Demand – Can’t log in?
I’ve been fairly positive about SAS On-demand but I think the keyword in that sentence is “fairly”. One of the major advantages of SAS over R (which has no formal tech support) and SPSS (which, before it was bought by IBM you could wait 45 minutes on hold for tech support) is that if you…

A new semester, new SAS On-demand – how to get started
So, here we are with a new semester and my second try at using SAS On-Demand with SAS Enterprise Guide in my Advanced Quantitative Data Analysis class. I am toying with the idea of possibly offering JMP as an option as well but leaning towards no since it would mean twice as much explanation of…
