    Review Of The AllCast Podcasting System

    Recently I was sent the ALLCAST – Video Conference, Webinar and Podcast System from American Recording Technologies. Plain and simple — this system is sick. When the CEO of American Recording Technologies, Alan Adelstein, reached out to see if I wanted to try it out, I was excited to try it out, even though I

    Matt Mullenweg Has Lost His Way And Is Taking It Out On The Community. The Latest…

    Roger Montti over at Search Engine Journal reported that the latest in the WordPress Drama had dropped. Matt Mullenweg, the “leader” of the WordPress project has barred longtime supporter of the project Joost De Valk from speaking at WordCamp Asia, because Matt feels Joost stabbed him in the back.

    Sharing Between Protocols

    So, I’ve wanted to figure out the best way to utilize both the AT-Protocol and the ActivityPub protocol and how they can talk to each other. There’s an app/service called Brid.gy on both ActivityPub (Mastodon/Fediverse) and on the AT-Protocol. What it does is nothing less than awesome. It creates accounts both ways so people on

    Blog Questions Challenge

    I was challenged by my good buddy Simon Cox to participate in the Blog Question Challenge. I accepted. Why Did You Start Blogging In The First Place? The Blog Question Challenge encourages bloggers to reflect on their experiences and share their insights. Good question. I’ve been blogging since the early days. But not really on

    Matt Mullenweg Says WPE Lawsuit Could End WordPress… Um Nope!

    In a post from Search Engine Journal, Roger Montti reports that Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of the WordPress open source content management system, says that the lawsuit with WP Engine could end WordPress. Honestly this has me fuming. Because WordPress is so much more than just Matt. It has a huge community of supporters and

  • My 2024 Recap

    My 2024 Recap

    So many people are doing 2024 recaps, so I figured I’d write one too. 2024 was a weird year. That’s even an understatement. At the beginning business was extremely slow. It rather sucked. Most of the business I had this year pushed off to the 2nd quarter or later. Thank goodness for ongoing maintenance and

    Happy Holidays!

    Happy Holidays everyone! It’s been a great holiday season so far here. Christmas Eve-Eve to Christmas Eve my wife, son, and I went on our annual trip to Hershey, PA to go to the Hershey Lodge for some swimming and some chocolate goodness. Now we’re in the in-between week. It’s still Hanukkah, but the kiddo

  • On Picking Someone’s Brain

    On Picking Someone’s Brain

    I really hate the term “Pick Your Brain.” First off, it just sounds yuck. Secondly, when you want to pick someone’s brain it usually means you want FREE advice. To me pay people for their time, especially if you’re picking their brain on something they do for a living. What do you think?

  • Matt Mullenweg Doesn’t Like Being Called Out On His Behavior

    Matt Mullenweg Doesn’t Like Being Called Out On His Behavior

    Inc.com posted an article that their reporter did with Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of WordPress. In the article the reporter, David H. Freedman, doesn’t paint a sunshine and rainbows picture of the whole fiasco between Matt (et. al) and WP Engine. Matt, in his right, responded calling the piece a “Hit Piece.” I don’t blame

    Yes, Pineapple On Pizza Is Great, But That’s Not The Point

    Seriously, how old are we? Instead of having people swear they have nothing to with WP Engine they now have to proclaim their love for pineapple on pizza before being let into WordPress.org. WTAF! Come on! In other news State of the Word happened in Japan this AM. It was 4am eastern so I didn’t
