macosxhints reviews WordPress, 8 out of 10 stars. “The admin interface to WP is wonderful; it’s amazingly simple…” Hat tip: Adam Johnson via email.
Download.com Blogs
Scoop! Download.com Blogs, half a dozen weblogs from the software site we all know and love. Disclosure: I work for CNET but I was not directly involved with this project.
Party Music
Music for the party tonight? Ellington of course, playing with and compisitions by Billy Strayhorn.
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?)
Scott Berkun writes a delightful essay on How is WordPress.com made?.
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.)
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.

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.
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.

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!
Monk was the master of the single note, perfectly selected, timed, and struck so that it would have a symphonic amplitude. The asymptote of his music is a punctuated silence, which is why he was especially sensitive to his drummers and dependent on them to organize the music’s forward motion.
The New Yorker reviews the 15 CD set, The Best of Thelonious Monk, which sounds like a lovely set of music to spend a weekend with.
In the great balancing act of our social lives, between the gratification of self-interest and a concern for others, fleeting experiences of awe redefine the self in terms of the collective, and orient our actions toward the needs of those around us.
