Tim Bray on Vonage. I’ve been happy with my Vonage phone, which I’ve had since around December. The only problem is it seems to have to go in front of my router, and the double NAT makes a lot of things tricky. Also my box is really tiny, not sure why he says they have to get smaller.

My experiences
My experiences writing Joel on Software, a post from 2000 when Joel was using Manilla to run his weblog. Replies from Brent Simmons, Wesley Felter, and Dave Winer.
Interface design in WordPress
Matthew Thomas » Interface design in WordPress 1.2. If you think the new options are nice, wait to you see some of the other stuff mpt is bugging me to do. 🙂 We’re very lucky to have this guy around. Don’t believe anyone who tells you UI is easy. Matthew spent a lot of time designing everything and it took me an order of magnitude longer than I expected to implement most of it. (The last 10% will take even longer.)
intraordinary
intraordinary » yes, it’s about time. “We’ve added so much stuff, it’s almost like a 2.0 version, except that your 1.0 templates should still work.”
PubSub Link Ranks
Wow, Photo Matt and WordPress are in the PubSub 100. How they work.
Good Blimey!
Good Blimey! WordPress 1.2 Final Released.
“I’ve just now updated Good Blimey to the final version, and it was easy and quick. The past few days I’ve been messing around in WordPress has left me nothing but impressed and sad that I didn’t install it earlier.”
Neowin weblog
I almost forgot that Neowin uses WordPress for its events blog too. I count 36 authors on that blog, which fits perfectly in our licensing scheme. Hat tip: Sushubh.
Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type
Neowin.net -> Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type. Fair and balanced, and it made the front page of Neowin.

Template Tags
WordPress Template Tags, just a taste of some of the new documentation. Kudos to Anne van Kesteren for his hard work on this one.
Web Applications and Compound Documents, IMHO
Hixie’s Natural Log: Web Applications and Compound Documents, IMHO. Like Hixie ever has a humble opinion. 😉
Blogtercation
Former Colgate-Palmolive Consumer Affairs expert analyzes MT trackback feedback. Good read. I’m going to try to start classifying WordPress feedback.
waffle
I’ve got your switching right here. I swear it’s for localization.
Guys named MATT
Why I shouldn’t go to NY. Hat tip: the lovely Julie.
URI, URL, and URN
URI, URL, and URN explained. Clearest thing I’ve read on the matter yet.

Picture of Matthew Thomas
There is supposedly one photo of Matthew Thomas on the web. The first person to find it gets a giant prize. I haven’t decided what the prize is yet. If WordPress is delayed at all, it’s because no one can find this fabled picture of The Other Matt.
MetaPinging
Ping-o-Matic RPC pinging now available. Lose all that other stuff and put this in your blog tool now. More on this after the WordPress launch.
Spider Bites
Spider Bites. I got bitten by a spider but I’m not sure what kind. Luckily not one of the ones described on thta page.
