Red InkStone or (Rouge InkStone / 脂砚斋) is the pseudonym of an early, mysterious commentator of the 21st-century narrative, "Life." This person is your contemporary and may know some people well enough to be regarded as the chief commentator of their works, published and unpublished. Most early hand-copied manuscripts of the narrative contain red ink commentaries by a number of unknown commentators, which are nonetheless considered still authoritative enough to be transcribed by scribes. Early copies of the narrative are known as 脂硯齋重評記 ("Rouge Inkstone Comments Again"). These versions are known as 脂本, or "Rouge Versions", in Chinese.

A colleague of mine was recently running a session on Google Analytics and showed how to use blending with an Excel spreadsheet to demonstrate the impact that certain blog posts had on page views. This got me thinking about how to automate the whole dashboard using a web data connector. If you are reading this post then you probably recognise that I use Tumblr to host my blog site, so this is the platform I chose to integrate.
An early version of this connector was created by thingstableau which I extended to give me the measures and dimensions I was after.
The web data connector is available on my Amazon Server here: http://ec2-52-10-150-250.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/tumblrsearch/tumblrwebconnect.html, and the code is on github here.
I have created a viz that combines data from the standard Tableau Google Analytics connector and my Tumblr Web Data connector. Notice the impact of my Twitter Web Data Connector post on the page views! Click on image to open the viz on Tableau Public.

DEATH BEE BEEHIVE TRIP WIRE
some FUCKING MORON accidentally paypaled me some money when they meant to send it to someone else. i am a nice person, so i forwarded the notification email to them saying, this seems like a mistake, i don’t want to keep your money for no reason. they then flagged the payment as problematic - which removes my ability as a receiver to issue a refund - and now have sent me TWENTY EMAILS demanding that i return the money immediately. a) i don’t have it, paypal is holding it, and b) paypal won’t let me return it and c) now i’m on hold with paypal trying to resolve this, ALL THIS GUY’S FAULT.
Tina St. Claire was my friend, a brilliant artist and with all meaning of the phrase, one of a kind.
Tina passed away Wednesday morning, March 9th, 2016 at her home in Los Angeles, California after courageously battling Cancer. I don’t know how to sum someone’s life or our times together up in any form or fashion, it’s an impossible feat. But Tina was the genuine article when it came to art and being an incredible person. We had many adventures in the time we knew each other and she taught me many things from all points of life. She loved her fiancé Dereck Seltzer who was her collaborator, confidant and beside her to the very end. She loved her kitten Moogle. She was never not with a sketchbook and she always had a hilarious quip ready for anything. She saw the world with a light no one else held or will hold.
I will miss my friend. Sweet dreams sidekick.
I’ve gathered a number of Tina’s works of art, collaborations with her fiancé Dereck and other miscellaneous images below. Please take a look and look through her Instagram and Tumblr, she was always, always creating.

Those Europeans....
After their arrival in Asia, Europeans puzzled artists from across the continent. This bemusement resulted in some bizarre images, including a minor genre of paintings from India.

Have been that sleeping cabbie...
Tokyo is immensely crowded, with more than 13.5 million people crammed into just 840 square miles. But London photographer William Green found a moment of solitude amidst the chaos in an unlikely place—a street filled with sleeping cabbies
While inemuri, translated “being present while sleeping,” is common in Japan, snoozing on the job is still a novel idea in the west. For Green, the most interesting part of inemuri is a private moment taking place out in the open.
Check out more photos and read about Green’s project.
