          The purpose of this broader project was to take a more active role in creation. In the year since, I have found that this starts by being open to inspiration. Taking a more active role in listening. The idea of the overheard collection is two pull together two listening habits....

          17.

When I was 17 I wrote:

“The best thing you could be in five years

is the same as you are now”

A rare moment of prescience.

The hardest thing to do.

Live more and stay the same.

          Do Runs Actually Exist in the NBA? - 
          This paper explores whether momentum exists in professional basketball through a novel entropy-based statistical analysis. Based on the 2019–20 NBA season play-by-play dataset, we apply a clumpiness measure to scoring sequences and simulate expected distributions under different assumptions. 1 Introduction On June 10, 2019, the Toronto Raptors played the Golden...
