I take this shit too personally.
Subject: Your Table Capture Review
Body:
“Mainly useful if you are constantly on some data-intensive pages, like stock listings.”
Hi Bruce,
This is a silly question, but what would Table Capture have to do to get a 5-star review? haha, I mean - it’s an extension that states that it captures tables from websites…and in your review you say essentially “Meh, it’s only good for capturing data…like stock data from websites”.
Just curious. Also, apologies for the unsolicited e-mail.
Cheers,
George

This kid Aaron Schwartz died recently. I didn’t know him. “So it goes” is all I can say, but this woman said a lot of wonderful things about him and their relationship. She said it here. Also, she posted this poem:
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
–W. H. Auden

SO…I did this thing. I did this thing where I went to a seminar on trespassing in an old, rickety warehouse loft in Gowanus. They were basically teaching the room of white yupsters how to trespass effectively.
The guys were responsible for this great heist thing.
Take aways:
- ID = good - if they can ID you, see that you’re not a felon, they won’t have to take you downtown.
- Looking like a ninja = bad - Hide in plain sight.
- Climbing bridges = bad - there are special laws about this.
- Detroit Action Squad has a great set of guiding principles.
- PRESERVE THE STORY
Preserve the story. I love that.
One of the best parts of the experience was that afterwards, we sort of did some rooftop exploration of the warehouse the event was in AND GOT YELLED AT for trespassing. HAH.
Okay. I’d like to copy ‘n paste in a passage about privileged yupsters, but I’ll have to wait for the wanderlust guys to get back to me with that.
I liked this. You may too, dear reader.
Russell Westbrook Aint the Only Russell.
This is the love/hate/love/hate of Russell Westbrook: 6-18, 3-5 on 3-pointers, 8-10 on foul shots, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 7 steals, 8 turnovers.
I love to hate the man.
With each day I become curiouser and curiouser. I love new places, new experiences and meeting new people. I’m inquisitive, passionate, opinionated, charming, sharp and witty. I am both academically and artistically inclined and am a strong believer in the pervasive communicative power of self expression. I love to create, especially in a collaborative manner that can speak to the community at large. I have a strong sense of adventure and love to travel and explore. Yet I appreciate the calming simplicity of sharing smiles and a philosophical discussion over a cup of tea.
