PingOMatic
Pop the champagne! Ping-o-Matic has broken a million pings in the two weeks or so that we’ve been counting. Keep the pings coming. 🙂

New Apple Displays
If these new display rumors pan out they look mighty tasty.

Out of Order
Because of the size of the photolog, I had to break it up and move everything over by hand. However now it is badly out of order. The thought of manually reordering 282 albums is terrifying. I need a way out. I’m watching this thread closely.
photojunkie
Rannie is in the middle of his Blogger Week pictures and today I make an appearance. Thanks Rannie. 🙂
Howdy
Well hello there. Welcome to the new server.
Staticize Plugin
Staticize Plugin for WordPress. Drop in your plugins directory, create a directory for it to put stuff, and activate. Instant on-demand caching. I’m going to try this out here as soon as I finish the server move. (The photolog may be broken for a few hours.)
SuperfluousBanter: First Publication
I just finished reading Budget Design: Increase Profit by Improving Process by Dan Rubin and Dider Hilhorst. It’s free for a week ($9 later) so now’s a good time to grab it. It was enjoyable and well-executed with lots of valuable insight. Highly recommended.
Microsoft Expression
Microsoft Expression, a free vector image tool for Macs and PCs. Hat tip: Cheryl Wise.
Sunny
It seems for blogs.sun.com WordPress was considered at one point, but they decided to go with the Java product Roller instead. Too bad, because their feeds seem strange, they have terrible URIs, and I have no idea what’s the permalink for a page. Anyway.
Periodic table usage
Brian Alvey on periodic table usage. His problems sound like nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a little overflow
and some non-float layout tricks. The WIN sites really need a makeover, or a markover, because it looks like tag soup to me. “My readers are more important than the year I’ll spend in purgatory for using a single table in an otherwise modern layout.” Say three Our Zeldmans and you should be alright. (Another note: WIN sites don’t support pingback or trackback yet?)

Sillyness
Chris Davis has put together an alternate admin UI for WordPress. He modifies a few of the files though, which could make upgrading a real pain.
Noel does Japan
Noel goes to Japan (and blogs it with WordPress). Unicode support should come in handy.
Nutella
I really, really like Nutella.
Gmail Invites
Gmail invites. The only thing I get on my Gmail account (mmmmmm@gmail.com) are people begging for invites, which has gotten very old very fast. It’s almost as bad as the people who stumble across my old Orkut entry and feel it’s my duty to invite them. I’ve given out one account so far, and it was to Simon.
Missed Plugins
Question for MT to WP converts: “To those of you who have converted, or who are thinking of converting – what plugin/hack/thing-a-ma-jig did you used to have for MT that you wish you could have now. I think there is very little (if anything at all?!) that I did in MT that couldn’t be done as easily (if not EASIER!) in WordPress. So, while I can’t say I’ll promise to get to everything right away, I’d like to re-create as many tutorials as possible for WordPress.”
