Today I took a little trip down the road to the grand opening of the Eastview Apple Store. Luckily, I was one of the first 1000 there so I got a snazzy nice T-Shirt, which is exciting. Below is an assortment of pictures borrowed from my Flickr set.

One of the on-going jokes amoungst my friends is that the 'has to be' at least one festival every weekend here in Rochester, NY. So, the other day I sat down and tried to find every one that, at least, mentioned 'fest' or 'festival' in its name. Now, this is good, however kind of useless only providing links to them from my web site. I re-visited one of my favorite web sites Upcoming.org and proceeded to add all the festivals (that I found) into there. Links to those pages can be found here:
While I was doing this, however, I realized that the whole process of adding events was really slow and annoying. This gave me a chance to explore a tool that I had been meaning to use: Webscrape. It's an easy-to-use Perl/XPath web page scraper that really speeds up the whole process. This led me to create two scraping applications for people to use:
I will probably do a separate post dedicated to Webscrape here soon, as I really enjoyed using it.
