i R nerd.

I've decided that I'm going to get really good at using R. What is R, you might ask? R is a programming language for originally created for statistical analysis, and my interest in it means I've apparently come to terms with the fact that I'm the type of person that jocks gave wedgies and swirlies to in high school. Why am I interested in R? Well, R is a programming language that will enable machine learning. I'm not talking about the robots-flipping-pancakes type of machine learning which -- while cool -- is not what comes to mind when thinking about statistics. Rather, the type of machine learning I'm talking about is where a user programs a computer to learn without being explicitly programmed to do so.
