A series of visualizations about fantasy basketball
I moved away from the blog format a bit when I started building out this website as I wanted to try making more visualizations (which take a lot longer than just writing) and videos (same issue!) and as a result don't have a table of contents for my blog posts here. But here are a my current two favorite blog-style posts that I've written over the last few years:
How to win at credit card roulette.
This one is just fun, and nicely illustrates how the EV of a game is far from a complete description of the outcomes you should expect. It's also the blog post that generated the most conversation among my friends.
Should you roll one or two dice in Risk?
My first ever blog post, I wrote this to settle a discussion I had while playing Risk. This one is nice because it continues to get 100-200 hits a week, all from Google searches (I think it is the top result for a few "how many dice ... in risk" searches). It also spiked during the initial COVID lockdowns to 1000 reads a week which was kind of neat to witness.
