I’m Beside Myself Today
I’m beside myself today. I pretty much cleared my day of meetings and just did what work I could muster. I can’t believe that Trump won. But then again, what’s with the Democrats going to the center? Obama won because he spoke to progressive causes. Our two party system is a wreck. And I can’t…

Matt Mullenweg At TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 – Analysis From The WP Minute Podcast Crew
Great analysis of the TechCrunch Disrupt interview with Matt Mullenweg from Matt Medeiros and Brian Coords on The WP Minute Podcast. It’s worth a watch if you have 45 or so minutes. I think it’s worthwhile. Clearly. A good outline can be found here. If you don’t follow The WP Minute Podcast, you need to,…

Worried About Election Day 2024
I’m so nervous about Tuesday. The 5th of November in America might be a triumph or a disaster. God, I hope Kamala Harris & Tim Walz win. If not I’m scared from the future of our country. It’s not just Trump, it’s Vance, it’s the power they have to shape the future of the country…

Rest In Peace Sandy. I Love You
Today (10/30/2024) I found out that my pseudo-grandmother died. She was ~96 and lived a full and amazing life. She was my Grandpa’s sweetheart up until he died at age 80. She had three loves-of-her-life. Here first husband, Lloyd, Norman (My Grandpa), and Bob (who died a few years ago). I’ve always tried to stay…

I Was A Guest On The Catalytic Leadership Podcast
I was lucky enough to be on William Attaway, Ph.D.’s podcast Catalytic Leadership. The episode aired yesterday. We had a great conversation and William is a great interviewer. He asked some really good questions. “As digital marketing challenges continue to evolve, entrepreneurs are faced with the daunting task of staying ahead of rapid changes in…

Matt Mullenweg, WordPress, And The Net
WordPress is more of a backbone of the net than Twitter/X if you think about it. And, like Twitter/X, it’s owned by one person. Matt Mullenweg. But unlike Twitter/X, 43% of the websites on the Web run on WordPress. That’s close to half! This used to be a point of pride for me. I’m all…

Matt Mullenweg & Free Speech
Matt Mullenweg recently posted on his blog that his freedom of speech has been hindered by a court injunction in the lawsuit brought by WP Engine against him et. al. Ummmm, I don’t think that the court telling you to STFU is a First Amendment issue. As I recall, after all I was a professional…

WordPress Is Matt Mullenweg’s Per Court Document
H/t to Jeff Chandler finding this disturbing document. How the ever-living-f*ck did we get here. WordPress is almost 21 years old. And one man controls all of it. This is so fucked up. Something, I’m not sure what, needs to happen. One man controls software that powers 43%+ of the f*cking internet websites. Geezus. Thoughts?

Has Matt Mullenweg & Automattic Lost Their Ever-Loving Mind?
I just found out that another contributor to the WordPress open source project has been kicked off of the WordPress.org repo and site. This has been a regular occurrence since the whole WordPress/WPE fiasco started. It’s almost like a badge of honor to be banned now. The problem is that many of these people being…

On WordPress
I haven’t found a better platform for my stuff than WordPress. Do I want Matt Mullenweg and WP Engine to come to some agreement and get this behind us. Absolutely. But I don’t think switching platforms because of Matt’s behavior makes any sense. And yes that’s just my opinion. Maybe stop contributing to the project…
