Transforming Your WordPress into a Tumble-Hybrid, we’re halfway there. Now someone should do a few awesome Tumblr-like styles around it. Projectionist is the first I saw and a great example of the medium.

On Wallstrip!
My conversation with Lindsay Campbell of Wallstrip is now online, including (most of) the end where she cries tears of joy for lolcats. It was a pleasure chatting with the crew there, and I’m curious to see what ventures they attempt now that they have leverage with Wallstrip.

On Cranky Geeks
I was on episode #76 of Cranky Geeks with John Dvorak, Sebastian Rupley, and Om Malik. We talked about Bubble 2.0, unions, iPhones, and vasectomies. This episode was a lot of fun and I suggest checking it out.
King of Web Standards
Jeffrey Zeldman: King of Web Standards. Hat tip: Niall.
Fake Steve Unmasked
The New York Times has figured out who the blogger is behind Fake Steve Jobs, and even links to his personal WordPress.com blog. I had no idea we had FSJ in our midst. Mr Lyons, if you’d ever like to move the blog to WordPress we’d be happy to make you a VIP.
Toni on Wallstrip
Toni Schneider of Automattic was interviewed on Wallstrip today. We got to hang out a bit with the Wallstrip team and they’re very sharp, though maybe short on the Wii Tennis. Yesterday they did a musical review of the company behind most states’ Lotto.
Interview on Adii
I did a short interview with Adriaan Pienaar on his site, talking a bit about 2.3 and blogs in media.
APP Goes Gold
Wine in the Mail
Someone sent me a great bottle of wine, but with no identifying information of where it was from. Was it you?
Litepost Email App
Litepost is a new open source web application that’s taking a new approach to the long-ignored realm of webmail. The state of online email has been advanced enormously by Gmail and Yahoo in the past two years, but the webmail apps, particularly the open source ones, haven’t responded in kind. Litepost is worth keeping an eye on.
Thunderbird Unncertainty
The future of Thunderbird is uncertain. Thunderbird has been my favorite email client for about four years now, though I now mirror my email on Gmail purely for the search.
New Stats Plugin
WordPress.com Stats Plugin 1.1, now it doesn’t bounce you to WordPress.com to view your stats. I think it’s pretty slick.
WordCamp Roundups
I’m still recovering from the conference this weekend. It was really amazing in both the people who attended and the quality of the presentations. Anyone have a good roundup post or liveblog any sessions? Leave it in the comments. The session pages are picking up pingbacks but seem to be missing some good stuff.
KRON on WordCamp
Parakey Caged
Parakey, who I first wrote about here, has been acquired by Facebook.
WordCamp Events Friday
There are two events happening before WordCamp officially kicks off on Saturday. Tomorrow at 1 PM there is a meetup at Crossroads Cafe which should be a lot of fun. And then at 6:30 there’s a dinner meetup organized by Niall at a neat place called Taylor’s Automatic Refresher, which is an outdoor beer and burger place at the Ferry Building. (Same place we met last year.) It’s cafeteria style, and we’ll be outside chatting. San Francisco evenings tend to get chilly near the water so bring a jacket.
WordPress.com Facebook App
We launched a WordPress.com Facebook App today, feedback has been mostly good, except some good points about how much space it takes up and formatting. It got 4 out of 5 stars on Facereviews. If you have a FB account, please check it out. (It doesn’t work for self-hosted WordPresses yet, but if it’s popular we’ll put more dev into it.)
