I had lunch with John Roberts of OpenDNS today, and we chatted a bit about OpenDNS and what surprised him about the business. 4:26.

SxSW Brochure
If you check out the SxSW Interactive brochure that they’re mailing to people it has a picture from my photolog on the fourth page. (They also use it on this page.) Groovy. 🙂 This year’s SxSW is going to rock, by the way.
More on SxSW

Snaps Along the Camino
I walked a week’s worth of the Portuguese path of the Camino de Santiago with a few friends, which was a nice bookend to my Rebirth and Yellow Arrows post at the beginning of last year. My feet are sore, and I have the first significant knee pain which has given me newfound empathy for the people I love who struggle with their knees. I traveled light and just brought an iPhone XS as my camera, and these are a few snaps of things I saw along the trail.
Address Change
Those of you who I had given my address to as “333” please change that to “355.” Sorry for the confusion! I just got a heap of Christmas cards today that had gone to the wrong address.
Debating OSS with DHH
The other week I ended up going back and forth in tweets with David Heinemeier Hansson, it wasn’t going anywhere but he graciously invited me to their podcast and we were able to expand the discussion in a way I found really refreshing and mind-opening.
DHH and I have philosophies around work and open source that I believe overlap 95% or more, so that makes where we have differences all that more interesting to mine. Although we would see each other logged into the same server 15 years ago, we haven’t actually spoken directly until this podcast started, but the conversation flowed so naturally you’d think we have been talking since then.
Check out the episode on Open Source and Power on the Rework Podcast, hopefully you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.

So the plan is today Saturday at 2 PM at the Chaat Cafe on 3rd and Folsom we’ll have a WordPress late lunch for all the people in the area who are interested in the latest and greatest in weblog software. It’s not a meetup proper but should be fun nonetheless.

New Kleptones mix which I have temporarily mirrored locally from Andy. (Individual files.)
WordPress in FreeBSD
Earlier I noticed that FreeBSD has a WordPress port, which means you can install WordPress automatically, just like on Debian and Gentoo. Only with Free software. 🙂
