Nerds of the World Unite!

Months ago, as the market started to wobble before falling down, we had to do some projections at my job. I told the boss that we were pretty much screwed as far as projecting went, because the black swan was flapping her wings and pooping on our heads. We would just have to hedge our bets. The black swan would come up often as we tried to do the impossible.

A few weeks ago, The Economist ran a piece where this big wig economist said that it wasn't just one black swan, it was a whole bunch of them and they were sticking around. We did the professional nerd version of a high five, verbally of course. Think I'm just a writer, do ya? Boooooya!
