Eventually Went Back To Sleep A WordCamp US Update
So today is the first full day of WordCamp US 2023. It’s been so much fun catching up with so many people. So much so that I’ll probably have to watch many of the sessions on WordPress.TV later. So in the last post I wrote that it was 3 am this morning and I couldn’t…

WordCamp US And The Excitement
It’s pretty much 3am here in DC. I crashed at 8:30pm/9pm last night and got a solid 3 1/2 hrs of sleep before the old blatter got me up. Then I tossed and turned until 2:40am and now I’m up. I think it’s the excitement of the conference that’s got me all jazzed and energized.…

WordCamp US 2023 Is Less Than A Week Away!!
I’m so excited for WordCamp US this year. It’s at the National Harbor right outside of DC. I haven’t seen many people in the WordPress community since 2019, so this will be great. I think the last round of tickets are still available https://us.wordcamp.org/2023/tickets/ and it will be livestreamed for those who can’t make it.…

People Who Stay On Twitter Are Aiding Musk In His Antics
I know a lot of people who are still on Twitter, because they feel they get a benefit from it. But what is the benefit of being associated with Elon Musk. He’s a truly horrible person with very right-wing/Nazi/Fascist tendencies. Now Musk is planning on getting rid of the Twitter branding altogether. I think this…

The More Corporate, Big Social Media Acts Poorly, The Better The Fediverse Becomes
Reddit is acting poorly and being draconian with their API access for 3rd party developers. YouTube announced that it won’t quash misinformation on its platform anymore. Facebook is… well… just evil. With all of these big social sites acting badly the fediverse and the plethera of alternatives are looking better to the average user. I’m…

WordCamp US 2023 Here I Come!
It’s been since 2016 that I’ve attended a WordCamp US event. I’ve been to local WordCamps but none as fun, vibrant and energizing as a WordCamp US event. The last one I went to was the second-ever WordCamp US which was at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. It was there in 2015 as well…
