I'm Noah Lorang

and this is some of my work.

I'm currently the data analyst for 37signals. You can see my resume.
Please feel free to contact me by email or on Twitter.

Here are a few things I've written here:

On data-driven reporting: a brief critique of half-truths when data is used in journalism.
How to ask for anything on the internet: humorous tips on how to get what you want from people via the internet.

I also occasionally write for Signal vs. Noise. Some of my favorite work from there includes:
