WordCamp Miami

2010 February 21

Had a great time meeting everyone at WordCamp Miami yesterday. Mark Jaquith’s Tips and Tricks presentation was pretty interesting. Watch the video after it’s posted if you haven’t seen it yet. Enjoyed hanging out with Scott Basgaard again. Met a number of great new people. Got several great photography tips from Travis Ballard and Carlos Miller. Of course riding in Blanca Stella’s car with Steve Mortiboy and Aaron Brazell driving to different bars in Miami was crazy.

Overall, I had a great time. and I’m looking forward to coming back down next year.

WordPress Plugin and Theme GPL Misconceptions, Misinformation, and Perspective

2009 June 20

I don’t have some crazy linkbait title bashing some plugin, developer, or Automattic employee/executive, but you’re here so I guess you still found the post somehow.

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about a variety of issues related to the commercialization and GPLness of plugins, themes, and Automattic.  Some of these discussions have been overlapping and conflicting.  Most of them are crap, and it’s getting harder and harder to weed through all the crap to find the legitimate stuff.

It’s been made clear before, but I’ll say it one last time, read more…
