IntenseDebate is back open to the public, and has a new WordPress plugin that does a two-way comment sync so all of your comments are always stored in your database so you can easily turn ID on and off without losing anything.
Hulu Kudos
I wanted to take a moment out to give kudos to the folks behind Hulu. Remember how much criticism and naysaying they got before and during their launch? It must feel good to have executed so well, and the content they have is really killer. You can watch all of Fifth Element, for example.
WordCamp Australia

Facebook Fan
If you’re a Facebook user and a reader of this blog you can now add me to your Facebook. The “pages” feature of Facebook is neat because before I was conflicted because I wanted to add everyone I met at various conferences or WordPress users as a “friend” but then news feeds and such basically become unusable. I’m going to try to use it like a mailing list sending out some travel and life updates, like if I’m going to be in a particular country. Sign up here. 🙂
Foz do Iguaçu, Argentina & Brazil
Breakfast in Brazil, the waterfalls at Foz do Iguaçu, drinks in Argentina, after-drinks back in Brazil. Lots of bugs and crawlies in the rainforest.
Brazil Meetup
I’ll be at the WordPress meetup at Latinoware tomorrow (Saturday) at 17:00. I’m speaking earlier in the day at 11:00. Been around the conference today and been really impressed with the breadth of subjects covered and the number of attendees. Confused about the logo though. (Is South America tucked into Africa?) Se você fala Português passar esta sobre a sua audiência.
Latinoware
Around the Latinoware conference in Brazil at Itaipu Binacional, and dinner at a churrascaria afterward.
WordPress Pumpkin
Eric Martin carved a WordPress pumpkin. Happy Halloween everybody. 🙂
Funnel Cloud Photo

LOLcats Book
People who know me know I’m a fan of LOLcats, well now they have a new book! (What a website, as they say in the South.) I got a review copy and it’s delightful, sure to bring a smile to anybody’s day.
