"Just do it".
I sometimes put the slide below into my talks showing how R will take "anything", munge it as needed, and report in "any format". Write some glue, and enjoy your integration as "most" things can be accessed and reported into. #rstats

Remembering when Josh Angrist moonlighted as an Uber driver to get info for a paper (he got low ratings b/c passengers said he asked them too many questions).

As a decades-long subscriber, I would welcome that, and my students might too. The url of the webview (linked from the email) has a very throwaway feel so I wasn't banking on it. Building a CMS or blog may feel like a pain but it would really useful. Let's hope it happens!

Hey @ECONdailycharts that lovely piece by @jamesfransham you emailed in the "Off the charts" newsletter on how and why #Rstats rocks: it there a publically visible URL we can reference ? (And I pondered that question for earlier pieces too...)

Same quartet, same year (likely same tour?) and a *completely different yet equally awesome* version of 'Cantaloupe Island' from Stuttgart:

Found on @YouTube just now: a splendid rendition of the beloved 'Cantaloupe Island' by @herbiehancock @DeJohnetteMusic @PatMetheny @TheDaveHolland live in Philly in 31 years ago. The entire concert video is excellent, this closer *rocks*.
