Hot and cold

First off, thanks to everybody who voted in The Kid’s ice cream poll. He had a ton of fun with the project. Here’s a brief snapshot of his results:

Popular Ice Cream Flavors

Vanilla edged out mint chip by one vote. (11 for vanilla, 10 for MC.) Rocky road an coffee brought up the end of the top nine (he was supposed to find the top eight, but there was a tie) with four votes. The Kid put together a much more complete report for school, learned about different ways to visualize data and how to use it to draw conclusions and make a point. I’m pretty happy that his class did the assignment.

I’m sorry it took me quite so long to get this posted. I burned the hell out of a couple of my fingers on Thursday morning, and it wasn’t until later on this weekend that I was able to type again. The lesson here was: don’t touch the engine of a lawn mower shortly after you’re done using it. Anyway, all’s better now. Stephanie took such good care of my fingers that it doesn’t look like the blisters are even going to break, which is braggable.

    I hope you feel better soon!

    I’m glad you published these results, too. I never would have guessed that strawberry ice cream would not be everyone’s top favorite. Wow. That will teach me not to look at the world through Jill colored glasses.

    Everyone who didn’t pick cookie dough as their #1 choice is unamerican.

    Hey, did he get in to weighting votes based on ranking?

    No, but that would have been interesting. Depending on where he is with the rest of his homework this week, maybe we’ll look in to it.
