I'm not sure where to begin on this one, so let's veer off topic a bit. I've decided I'll likely be phasing out Higher Ed Data Stories in the near future as I go into retirement and start my new venture , which is soft launched but not officially open for business. When I do, I'll be posting regularly on my blog over there , but won't be putting everything out on the web for free, as I've been doing on this site.
