Editor’s Choice
I heard on the grapevine that WordPress won an Editor’s Choice award from Linux Journal, could anyone confirm? I’m going to head to Border’s tomorrow to see if they have any new copies.
German WordPress Book
This German WordPress book is, as far as I know, the first to be published exclusively about WP. Here’s to many more. They sent me an email and hopefully I’ll get a copy in the mail soon.
Webshots Shoebox
I got the scoop that Webshots has a new beta experiment up called Webshots Shoebox which is like a universal photo aggregator mashup. Get the bookmarklet and it’ll all make sense. I noticed it imports tags from Flickr too. They have a blog to engage the conversation, so go check it all out. (The blog is on WordPress, of course.) Accord to Alexa Webshots.com has the #58 most traffic in the world. (Slashdot is #1,421.) Hat tip: Narendra.
Commit Rollups
I forgot to note that Ryan is doing these neat commit summaries of some of the work going on with WordPress. Here’s his second one. If we can bribe him into making this a regular thing I’d love to see more of these. 🙂 Also check out this animated screenshot of part of the new interface for 1.6.
WordPressDash
WordPressDash is a Tiger dashboard widget for posting to WordPress.
Bugmaster
Why everyone needs a bugmaster. We picked a few for WordPress today in the IRC meetup but we opted to call them “Bug Gardeners” for now.
AJAX Commenting
This AJAX commenting looks pretty neat, has anyone made this into a WP plugin yet?
Fillmore Jazz Festival
The Fillmore Jazz Festival is this weekend in San Francisco.

Seattle Meetup
Okay WordPress is merging with the Canadians and the Drupal geeks in a giant unified open source party/meetup at the Fairmont Hotel at 6:30 PM tonight, June 25. Come one and all to learn the real future of Open Source. 😉
Open Source Panel
Yesterday’s panel on Tomorrow’s Open Source went very well, and my thanks to Matt Westervelt, Asa Dotzler, and Scott Collins for making it so fun. I think if you were to summarize the entire panel to one thing, the key to the future of Open Source is to “listen to your mother.”
T-Shirt Plea
Open letter to free schwag people: Not all geeks are XXL! There is a reason the small and medium shirts are the first to go. Please keep the smaller geeks in mind when purchasing your merch. Conference organizers: make t-shirt size part of the registration so you can give your vendors a heads-up to the size makeup of the conference. (Other than that, Gnomedex is going great.)

Codex Cleanups
The Codex Cleanup is halfway done, with more than 2,000 edits, over 400 pages categorized, and much more. There is still time to volunteer if you would like.
Open Media 100
I made the Open Media 100 list under “Toolsmiths.” Not too many surprises on the list. Thank you to everyone who nominated me. When I see these things I always think “Now I have to really work hard to live up to this hype.” So, back to work. 🙂
GoDaddy facts
Niall finds some holes in a GoDaddy press release about blogging. I have a ton of domains with them, but their blog actually scares me a little.
