It solved the specific problem temporarily, but unfortunately just gave the soldier more problems. […]
More personal blogging and pressing of this
I tweet a lot. Too much, really. I read a great number of stories every day. They are largely work related (aka WordPress stuff), but I also read items of interest in the news, regarding politics, and other stuff. I typically tweet what I enjoy. I want to keep more of these items on the […]

We talked about WordPress News, considering Jeff runs WP Tavern and I run Post Status. We also talked about Automattic’s value, respecting one another within the WordPress community, and other issues […]

I’m honored to have been asked to do an interview with Code Poet. Code Poet is a great resource for eBooks and other things. Their interview series is also fantastic. I was extremely excited to be asked by them to do an interview, and I hope you enjoy it. They did a really thorough job […]
