WordPress 2.5 is out!

Noël — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 06:05:35 +0000

WordPress 2.5 is out! It’s one of the most significant releases to date, in my opinion.

The nightly releases have made it significantly easier for me to blog. Thanks Automattic and everyone (which is a ton of people, including one line of code from myself) who contributed!

And, on top of being just plain awesome, one of my favorite design studios ever, Happy Cog, (who redesigned the admin section of the app) did a killer job with the interface design.

Topless

I go topless, that is, sans-iPhone, sans-computer, to all of my meetings and meals. I like to use more tangible objects to illustrate any ideas, or take notes and I think that even one subtle distraction from a ill-timed txt message can ruin the mood fast. Sometimes I still sneak a laptop around with me, but I’ve broken the habit pretty well.

After attending the AMODA Digital Showcase while I was t SXSW 2008, I saw a guy named “Madison Effect” perform live. I checked him out on his MySpace page immediately afterwards and found two very amazing albums for free. Highly recommended.

Destroy All Biographies

Noël — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:16:51 +0000

“If you try to probe, I’ll lie to you. Seventy-five percent of what I say in interviews is false. I’m like a hen protecting her eggs. I cannot talk. I must protect my work. Introspection is bad for me. I’m a medium, not an orator. Like certain oriental and Christian mystics, I think the ‘self’ is a kind of enemy. My work is what enables me to come out of myself. I like what I do, not what I am…Do you know the best service anyone could render to art? Destroy all biographies. Only art can explain the life of a man – and not the contrary.”

- Orson Welles, 1962.

The Perfect Tee

Thanks for the link John – I too was upset at American Apparel’s changeof cut to their shirts. I’ll definitely be ordering up a No Sweat tee (or 10) if they fit me right.

Thanks for lunch Jeffrey!

When in NYC, I ate lunch with Zeldman and Chris – to show thanks for the veggie burger, I upgraded his WordPress installation. :) The photo makes me look funny. Related posts:Reactable – Incredible multi-user desktop interface eight6 business cards emil schildt … Continue reading → Related posts:
