  Awesome. Probabilistic descriptions of reality are highly useful for computer scientists these days.

  If you are in college and you have not taken a probability or statistics course, I highly recommend you give it a shot. I use it all the time.

  I remember watching his TED talk [http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_y...]. It was mind-blowing. I'm excited to see what else he has to show us.

  This is well worth watching. He's certainly quite a guy.
