PodTech:Sun Microsystems CEO

Good interview between Scoble and Schwartz, and I wanted totest out the new “post to wordpress.com” feature of Podtech.

It happened to me

I thought all the reports on the internet were joking, or mostly hyperbole.

I thought it was only people who flailed around crazily with their Wiimotes.

However a few minutes ago while bowling the strap on my Wiimote broke and the controller went flying, hitting the ceiling with a large bang that broke off the battery cover and broke the hooks that keep the batter cover attached, and then came down inches away from my LCD TV.

Whoa!

If you have a Wii, definitely be careful.

2007 WordPress Predictions

Earlier I posted a few of my predictions for 2007 to the wp-hackers list here, I thought it’d be worth blogging to make it easier to find next year and also be part of the WP.com prediction tag.

So here are my 2007 predictions for WordPress:

We’ll do 3 major point releases
People will start Wordcamps around the globe
WP will become the #1 used tool on the Technorati 100
Daily spam will be 10x what it is today
WYSIWYG will no longer annoy savvy writers
Several new WP-based companies will start
We’ll figure out the whole plugin/theme directory thing

It’s Just Software

Seen on the secret Automattic chat room:

photomatt_lap: okay, think we can import their wp_tags to categories and 
just switch up those functions to use wp_categories instead of wp_tags?
       rboren: Well of course we can...
       rboren: It's just software.

I hate flowers. I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.

For the record, I love flowers.

Humphrey Bogart and Ava Gardner

I saw The Barefoot Contessa yesterday on PBS and wow, they really don't make movies like that anymore. A really fascinating film. Ava Gardner was pure beauty, and Humphrey Bogart is very classic.
