Excerpt:

Superstorm Sandy hit the Northeast more than a week ago, but this week commuters still found themselves grappling with the consequences of the storm: Crowded public transportation and lines at the gas pump made getting to work a far greater hassle than usual. At least one man, however, managed to avoid post-Sandy commuting woes. He just did what he'd done long before the storm -- commute by kayak. Zach Schwitzky lives in Hoboken, N.J., a city that sits just across the Hudson River from Manhattan. While most Hoboken residents get to their New York-based jobs by bus, ferry or PATH train -- an interstate subway line -- Schwitzky, 29, prefers to paddle his way to work across the Hudson on a 15-foot kayak.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
