  • Bucks County’s Startup Scene – It Exists

    Having grown up in the Bucks County and Philadelphia metro area my whole life, I’ve noticed something. Philly likes to tout how startup friendly it is. But ignores the counties surrounding it. Bucks County has a really blossoming startup and technology scene that has been growing silently for years. Finally a bunch of us have…

  • WordCamp US 2019 – State Of The Word – My Thoughts

    So WordCamp US 2019 was this weekend in St. Louis, Missouri. I watched from afar on the live stream. I’m so glad they had that feature. Thanks #WCUS organizers! One of the biggest parts of WordCamp US is when WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg gives the State Of The Word speech at the end of the…

  • WordCamp Lehigh Valley PA 2019

    I’ve been coming to WordCamp Lehigh Valley since it started (I think about 4 years ago). It’s a great WordCamp that isn’t in a major metro area. The topics are great and range from User Experience to getting used to the Gutenberg editor to how to manage multiple WordPress sites. The great thing about WordCamps…

  • WordCamp US 2018

    Going to WordCamps (conferences that are focused on the WordPress CMS) is always a lot of fun. When the national WordCamp (WordCamp US) comes around every December it’s gives one a sense of how fantastic this community is. Last year and this year #WCUS (as it’s affectionately known) is in Nashville Tennessee. I wasn’t able…

  • Thoughts On The Massacre In Pittsburgh

    What happened to Pittsburgh this terrible, horrendous and unconscionable. It happened in a synagogue, but could happen anywhere and has happened in other places of worship and places of education. Two days after what happened in Pittsburgh, I’m still trying to deal with the fact that something like this could happen in this day in…

  • WordCamp Philly 2018 Recap

    I love me a good WordCamp.  WordCamp Philly 2018 is in the bag. This year I didn’t volunteer to take photos. Instead I was just an attendee. I felt  I needed a year to take in everything WordCamp had to offer. One of which was actually sitting through sessions and learning as much as possible.…

  • Social Media How It Should Be

    I’m really enjoying Mastodon, well… Jawns.Club‘s version of Mastodon. When I started out on Twitter back in 2007/8 I loved the local feel of the site and followed people I knew in real life or in the local area. As Twitter grew in popularity, it got cluttered for me. I began to get followers and…

  • Mastodon… My Take.

    Mastodon, the social network, not the Heavy Metal Band, came on the social media scene just over 2 years ago. It was immediately embraced by those who felt Twitter had sold out to to corporate interests and wasn’t what it once was. It also seemed and still seems to not to be able to deal with…

  • A Vermont State Of Mind

    I’m sitting on the top of a mountain in the Green Mountains of Vermont. On my computer writing.  The air is crisp and the foliage is green. As I’m writing I’m realizing that Vermont is special place. A place where natural world meets the modern world. Bears, Deers and Moose run free up here. Yes,…
