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?)
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.
Alaska Day 7
Leaving the takeout point, Kavik camp (one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever been), arriving back in Fairbanks.
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.
Arriving in Oslo
Exploring the Oslo, Norway area a bit after a long, long flight.
I was on VentureBeat’s podcast with Dylan Tweeney, talking a bit about how WordPress came to be and geeking out on some of the tech behind our approach.
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
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!
Joule Sous Vide Machine
MT 3.16
Congrats to Jay and his team on Movable Type 3.16. There are some “orange level” security problems fixed, so be sure to upgrade! It’s a day for releases.
