I’m a bit of a stats guy. I like playing with numbers to understand things better. As I look at the most popular posts from the past year, I can’t say that I’m entirely surprised. There’s a big amount of Big Data going on. Tried and true posts like my disdain for Microsoft Access 2007 seem to have some staying power, and I’m not exactly shocked that my Breaking Bad interview with Jonathan Banks got some play.

Without further ado, here they are in descending order of popularity:

• Big Data and Teenage Sex
