Planet WordPress, just an experiment. Any WP-related blogs I should add? I had MooKitty on there but her feed has an ad that always stays at the top.

Loping Leias
I walked with the Leias tonight through the Castro. Props to Heather, Derek, MJ, Dinah, and three others for representing Leias in style.

Steve Gillmor is back and on WordPress at ZDNet. Here’s his RSS 2 feed, for Marc.
New Apartment
I’m sitting inside my new place in San Francisco. The weather is cold but I don’t feel it a bit. The water is hot, the internet is fast, and furniture should get here in a few days. What more do you need? I wish you all could see this big goofy grin on my face.
WordPress is
Internets Vets for Truth
Internet Vets for Truth, much mischief. Please share this link.
Solid Connection
My kingdom for a connection faster than 9.6k. This is killing me! We got a little lost today in the mountains above LA, but they were so gorgeous it was worth it. Connectivity right now is spotty at best and my inbox is larger than it has been in a very long time, so I apologize if it takes longer than normal to get back to you.
Best Route
Blogging to you live from Arizona. We’re going to stop in Tucson for the night and I wanted to solicit feedback on what’s the prettiest drive from there to San Francisco. Until now the plan has been “Get on I-10, go West” but I remember some very specific advice from people on what roads to take and not to take once in California, I just can’t remember what the advice was. I’d like to avoid LA if possible, but other than that I’m open to anything. Any suggestions?
Jane Kim for School Board
One of the people I had the pleasure of meeting while in San Francisco was Jane Kim, who’s running for school board there. If you’re voting in that area in this upcoming election I would highly recommend checking out where she stands on the issues and keep Jane Kim in mind when you visit the polls. If you get a chance to meet her before the election you’ll also get to see what a neat person she is, if not you’ll just have to take my word for it.
Dumb Lawyers
I like lawyers, I consider a few to be friends, but I have to question how some of these people made it into college, much less pass the bar. I got a letter today regarding Agilepeople, which I have never even heard of until today, and they decided apparently since the site uses WordPress I was the “hosting company” and I should provide the “name, address, and telephone number of the owner of agilepeople.org. If we cannot secure the information from you regarding the identity of person or persons who are infringing on our client’s legal rights, we will have no other recourse but to consider litigation.” But wait, it gets better! I call the number on the stationary and apparently the lawyer who sent this doesn’t even have the correct number on the letter.
Waterproof Powerbook
Thank good the bottom left of the Powerbook is mostly waterproof. (Well, lemonade-proof.)
WordPress Enclosures
Another user discovers WP’s new enclosure feature, it’s nice when things just work.
Switched from Blogger
Jonas writes in that “locative guru” Marc Eisenstadt has switched to WordPress. I’m glad that everything he ran into is already fixed in the CVS.
Baggage Handlers
Still at the airport waiting. A plane just arrived and tehy’re loading and unloading the luggageand it’s really shocking — they’re really chunking it. They pick it up and literally throw it so it hits the back of the luggage card. I’ll have to remember that next time I pack.
Feedster Dinner
Jeremy blogged the Feedster dinner where we met. He’s much better at blogging things he goes to than myself or most people I read, perhaps part of the reason why everyone invites him? 😉
Forums Growing
It looks like the plane has been delayed another few hours. My United flight out here wasn’t bad, but this one is terrible. I found a power outlet and I’ve set up camp with the laptop, wifi, and headphones so I’m just going to try to get some work done. Anyway, the WordPress Support forums have broken 100,000 posts.
In SF
I’ve been in San Francisco for a few days again and seen a lot of older friends like Tantek, MJ, Dave, and Dinah but also met some very cool new people like Toni, Jeremy, the lovely Cheyanne, and MJ’s sister Amy. Note that Amy’s site is Team Monkey, not T-Monkey or TeaMonkey. My flight to Houston is delayed a few hours, but thank goodness for wifi and Powerbook battery life. Finally getting around to setting up Dovecot locally on OS X.
Nike Uses WordPress
The Daily Snkr Blog is a new event blog for Nike done by the Blog Agency in France. Thanks to Stéphane Wharton and Jean-Luc Raymond for writing in about this. Also thanks to the Blog Agency for using WP for this project.
