WordPress DC Presentation

I’m giving a lightning talk at the April WordPress DC meetup tonight. It’s a case study on one of our clients at Avendi Media, MFX Solutions. Here are the slides:

An Update on Life

I realized today that it’s been a while since I posted anything. That’s just a shame, and it shouldn’t be this long between posts.

So, I guess an update on life:

Since the last time I posted, I haven’t really done a whole lot. Work has been really busy 1, and being married is like having another job at home.

How WordPress Saved My Computer

So, in my writeup of the town hall with Matt Mullenweg, I promised a post about the after-party (and after-after-party).

After the meetup, a bunch of us went across the street to Tsunami Sushi & Lounge. 1 Matt bought every bottle of Bamboo Princess sake they had in the bottle, and everybody was having a grand old time of it. A bunch of us ordered sushi too. Continue Reading

Realization and Resolution

Last Night, Matt Mullenweg did a town hall meetup here in DC. It was really amazing, and I’ll do a full write-up of my thoughts on the meetup later. I had a realization at the meetup, though; an epiphany, if you will. The people attending (myself included) seemed to all agree on one thing: we don’t blog as often as we ought.

What would you like to see me write more about?
