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?)
When You Lose Weight, Where Does it Go? I’ll be honest that I had no idea.
When Kara Goldin started putting fruit in her water 10 years ago, she had no idea that she had stumbled upon a business idea that would eventually lead to the creation of a new category in the beverage industry, grow to a 40 million dollar company, and help her lose over 25 pounds in the process.
Cool interview with Kara Goldin, the founder of Hint Water, which I drink 3-4 of a day and is also an Audrey company.
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.
Alec Baldwin, my favorite character on 30 Rock, has a great-looking WordPress-powered site. It was also built by Alley Interactive who did the Observer site I blogged about the other day.
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.

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.
The past two days I’ve been at WordCamp San Francisco and the presentations have been amazing. For the first time ever for San Francisco we’ve had a really fantastic live video stream going from both rooms. It’s a pretty economical way to get all of the content of the conference without the cost of coming to San Francisco. We even had someone streaming from Pakistan! My talk on the State of the Word, will be tomorrow at 11 AM PST so get a ticket on the WordCamp SF site.

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.”

Exploring the Oslo, Norway area a bit after a long, long flight.
