So I had some free time today (read: I had 3 papers to read for my MBA 290 class). Cruising around reddit, I found this thread. People basically tried to take an informal poll. Seeing an interesting coding challenge, I spent a few hours writing scripts to extract the data and spitting it out as a pie chart. These only take into consideration the top level comments, but I have all the data for deeper levels – I’m just not sure how to display the data. For the technically oriented, I used python, reddit’s secret .json API, and the google charts API.

Additionally, I realized that I still have the drive for coding – I just need an interesting problem for me to solve.
