Both gregarious and thoughtful, he has grown his website <a href="http://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers</a> into the definitive aggregation of the R community’s voice through his genuine, passion-driven intensity. Tal had a simple desire as a young programmer - to learn more about his chosen tools - and looked to the internet to find other voices like his. When googling for “R blogs”, Tal found numerous blogs about pirates, but only a handful about R. This interview details how Tal started <a href="http://www.r-bloggers.com/">R-bloggers</a> and decided to challenge the status quo, as well as giving us a peek behind the curtain for his new projects.</p>
