Using Alteryx To Understand Climate Change
This is my second appearance on the Alteryx podcast. In this episode, I talk about my decade of work on climate change. It isn’t very technical, but I hope people appreciate the insights.
The Timing of Global Warming Development
This article investigates the sensitivity of my global warming simulator to the length of the simulations. I wanted to understand if 10, 20 , 30 or more years of data would be required before stable temperature predictions would be achieved.
Article 400 – Decoding The Global Warming Book
This article summarizes eight years of global warming research. It also happens to be my 400th article. There is a lot of information packed into the links.
Global Warming Insights In Small Pieces (Part 3)
This is part 3 of a story that documents a recent trip to California.
Truthful Global Warming Insights
Eight years of data-driven global warming research is wrapped up in this article. You can unpack a half-a-billion data points in this article to explore the ideas for yourself. You can download Tableau dashboards that will teach you a thing or two about linear modeling. Most of all, you will gain a better understanding of what is going on across our beautiful planet if you take the time to study this work.
Global Warming Insights In Small Pieces (Part 2)
We were already down two strikes by the end of day 1. Mother nature was throwing curveballs at us that we could not have hit. Who would have thought that a National Park could be on fire on the day that you traveled thousands of miles to see it?
Global Warming Insights In Small Pieces (Part 1)
This is going to be a multi-part story about my global warming research and how my insights can be interpreted and understood. I think this series will be a good one.

The Value of Alteryx
Is Alteryx valuable enough for you? To help you decide, I’ve written a few thoughts on the topic. Please read the article to learn more.
A Useful DMA Shapefile For #Tableau and #Alteryx
In this article, the technique of polygon generalization is used to reduce the complexity of DMA boundaries. This boundary change makes preparing and displaying DMA-based data much faster in Tableau.
The Making of A Home Office
It took a month to make a new home office for me. This is the story of how that happened.
Why You Should Consider Becoming A Volunteer Software Tester
For four decades, I’ve been a volunteer software tester. Looking back on these experiences has shown me that I learned a lot about software. This knowledge helped me be a better developer. During some recent testing, I realized how important volunteer software testers can be to companies that use them.
I Wonder What is Causing This Weird USA April Warming and Cooling Pattern
Today is Earth day which reminded me that I wanted to talk about a peculiar temperature change pattern I’ve detected. I don’t have the answer of why it has occurred over a four-day window in April. This pattern is revealing itself over 60 years through millions of temperature readings. Be sure to get to the end of the file to see the baby birdies!
A 12 Month Calendar of Global Warming For the United States
I have been conducting focused work for six years that has allowed me to create something interesting. I can now produce global warming calendars that allow me to track how global warming is impacting temperatures in any region of the world. In this article, I show monthly calendars for the United States.
How Colton’s Accomplishments Became One of My Proud Moments in 2019
This story spans more than two decades. I have watched our beautiful baby boy grow up to be a fine young man. It is now time for Colton to find his place in the working world. It is my hope that he is able to find a job that will allow him to use his education and creativity to do great things for the company that hires him.
Many Tableau Vizzes Used To Make Other Pictures
I have always wanted to create photo mosaics. I think they are cool. In this article, I show some examples I made this week with a program called TurboMosaic.
