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…

Last Night I Saw The Aurora Borealis
I saw the Aurora Borealis from the front yard of my house last night in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia. It has happened before, but I missed it. I didn’t this time. It was faint by the naked-eye, but my iPhone camera caught it. Bucket list item checked off.
