My fitbit #Fitstats for 9/21/2013: 7,496 steps and 5.5 km traveled. http://t.co/yvGq0OoOT9 00:03:38
Got some 5 poll average logic going now, but no D/R combo has 5 polls in any state yet. Have to backfill from last 5 elect results. 01:48:59
That will take a decent amount of time just doing data entry. I put in 5 states for 2012 so far. A lot more to type in before that is done! 01:50:37
There. First actual 5 poll averages. Florida. Clinton/Bush: http://t.co/qyGlje8E44 Clinton/Rubio: http://t.co/arzekkyrDm 02:22:09

Finished adding in 2012 data. Added вЂњ5 point average over timeвЂќ calculations. Next up, 2008 dataвЂ¦ and maybe trying to construct some graphs. 06:53:28
Got state graph with five poll average done. Clinton/Rubio/FL Example: http://t.co/630kdiX4vY Think 4:30am is good time 2 call it quits tho. 11:31:25
Next up, more data entry, then nationwide EC summaries. Not sure I will manage more this weekend. I am on a roll though, shame to stop. :-) 11:37:38

2016 prog. Poll list now filters by Dem/Rep/State and sorts by poll middate. http://t.co/Hvgjl16GdA Next up, calculate some 5 poll averages. 17:14:22
Yes, 2016 is a long way away, but I get limited time to work on this stuff, so starting early to get things set up how I want. 17:31:51
Started noting down polls I saw in Jan. JUST started setting up some web stuff in last few days. Very basic so far, lots of ideas in head. 17:33:55
I figure with a 2+ year head start, maybe I have a 50/50 shot of implementing those ideas before the 2016 Iowa caucus. :-) 17:35:03

Unless of course there was one, and Alex dismissed it, which he does routinely if something pops up and interrupts what he is doing. 20:00:16
Wonder if it will pop up (again) soon. Since there is a notification on settings, I will check it before too long in any case. 20:02:06

.@BYUfan I also follow Obama and a number of Senators and Members of the House of both parties. So they must all be targets now too! in reply to BYUfan 20:20:26

Big milestone today: Alex actually played in his soccer game today!! Ran after the ball almost the whole time. Upset when he didn’t get it. 20:56:42
Every other game has stubbornly resisted doing anything. Would sit and not participate, or just follow Coach Amy. This time really trying! 20:59:00
Of course, didn’t WANT to, was trying to get his frozen yogurt bribe. Was told he would only get yogurt if he kicked the ball. 21:00:03
At 1st he thought GREAT and went off the field and kicked an extra ball. But once we clarified spent rest of the game trying to kick ball. 21:01:50
He was very frustrated he never got the ball. Kept deferring to other kids at last min. Other kids kicked away. Still came VERY close. 21:03:42
We are now at frozen yogurt place getting him his bribe anyway because he tried so hard. Maybe next week he will actually manage to kick it. 21:05:29

My NotationalVelocity (Mac) / SimpleNote (iOS) combo has last data too many times now to continue. Anyone have thoughts on alternatives? 22:57:34
One note I was looking for was not present at all on either Mac, my iPhone had a copy from June, my iPad a copy from early August. 22:58:44
Pretty sure I made changes in late Aug that are lost. Even if not, it should be the same version everywhere. Not missing or old. 23:00:34
If all four places showed same Aug version, I would think maybe that was really the last edit. Missing copies and June copy make me doubt. 23:01:23
Anyway, suggestions for alternatives welcome. Not the first data loss. I use this all the time and need the functionality. But reliable. 23:02:23
I've never liked Evernote the times I have tried it, but maybe I will give it another shotвЂ¦ not quite what I want, but… 23:05:25
What I really want is: Text only notes (don't need rich text / pics / etc), Good syncing between devices (Mac/iOS), good full text search. 23:10:29
