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.
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.
New Apple Displays
If these new display rumors pan out they look mighty tasty.
Eric on 1.5
Eric Meyer on WordPress 1.5, “A good tool is now a great tool, and I can only imagine where it will go from here.” A nice look at things from a developer and tweaker perspective.
WordPress in NYT
Bloggers Add Moving Images to Their Musings is, as far as I know, the first mention of WordPress in the New York Times. First of many, hopefully. 🙂 (I wonder what sort of traffic they’ll drive?)
Web Photos Pro
The Web Photos Pro site is run mostly on WordPress, which I didn’t even realize until I saw the “Powered by WordPress” link. Great example of WP used as a CMS for an entire site. (The software looks cool too.)
Shocked and dismayed this morning on the news that David Carr passed last night after collapsing in the New York Times newsroom, where he was working into the evening. If you’re not familiar with his work or legacy, these links on Mediagazer are a good start.
Blog Framing
Doc Searls on framing in a blogging article. Market statistics aren’t hard to find, just ask one of the people indexing the darn thing. (Technorati, Feedster, Pubsub, Bloglines…) To read the original article you have to register first—obviously an organization that “gets” the web.
World Bank Leader
Love Supreme Anniversary
I can’t believe I’m going to be out of town for this concert, Branford Marsalis and Ravi Coltrane celebrating the 40th anniversary of Love Supreme. (Listen to Branford’s recording of Pursuance.)
FEC Non-Scandal
Bloggers of America, chill. Great advice! Declan’s story seemed like a bit of a blogger troll.
iCurve Pizza
Interesting fact: the iCurve also makes an excellent pizza box holder.
Monaco and Eze
Day trip to Eze, Chevre d’Or where I had the best meal of my life, and walking through Monaco, ending with the Monaco Media Forum.
Panels Tomorrow
Just a reminder, I have two panels tomorrow, one at 10 AM in room 17AB (Blog Software Showdown) and one at 5 PM in room 15 (Open Source Infrastructure). I’ll try to record them for blogging later, but the quality will be about the same as the keynote recording.
Yahoo Toolbar RSS
Since the Title II ruling from the FCC there’s been a lot of partisan rhetoric about the government taking over the internet, even in the comments of this very blog. I just came across Brad Feld’s post, Some Final Thoughts on the FCC and Title II Ahead of Tomorrow’s Vote on Net Neutrality and he does an awesome job breaking down and addressing each of the misconceptions.
OK/Cancel SxSW
OK/Cancel comic on SxSW 2005, in which my name makes an appearance. OK/Cancel appears to be running on a well-hacked WordPress install, though there’s no link.
WordPress in Higher Education « WordPress Support
WordPress in Higher Education — “Penn State is also telling all of the participants (about 200 leaders in higher education) about how they use WordPress for courses, portfolios, content mangement and about everything else.”
NADD Redux
Om on why I can’t pay att… ooh look, shiny!
Are you in or near Tokyo? I’m going to be in town and doing a meetup this Sunday, and I’m looking forward to hanging out with the local community. I’m told you can read about it on this link: WordBench東京 3月スペシャル『春のマット祭り』 – WordBench東京.
