I hope the rest of you have a great time at your respective WordCamp!
Daily Theme & Plugin Roundup – 3.15.2013
Hey ya’ll! I have been in Atlanta for a few days and I have already inherited Tom’s southern drawl. First day of Wordcamp Atlanta 2013 and it was awesome! Can’t wait to speak tomorrow! How sweet would it be if I was able to run into the author of one of these plugins?
Sneak Peek It – Mobile Sketch Sheets
Jared and the rest of the team are presenting today and tomorrow at WordCamp Atlanta and so far the crowd has been fantastic! It’s great to see the community come out strongly with such a variety of backgrounds, interests, and skill-levels. This is what a great WordCamp is all about! Jared presented on his Design Toolkit, which he’ll share much later his deck available via his blog but something that was particularly neat was Sneak Peek It, a free downloadable and printable sketch sheet that you can use for your concepts and artwork. I thought it was worth sharing and I can’t […]
The Story of BusyBox and The First GPL Lawsuit
I’m near-infinitely curious about open source technology and how that impacts us not at just a microscopic leve but also a macroscopic as well – how it’s changing not just how I see software and product development but how it’s changing the landscape of publishing as a whole. That’s why I spend time looking into and understanding licensing and the licensing issues (especially around the GPL) and find interesting comparisons between WordPress and other CMSs and their challenges (like Joomla’s Civil War). With Joomla’s and WordPress’ issues with licensing it can be hard, at times, to understand what exactly the […]
A New Class: Software Developers Turned Writers
There was a great post on Medium the other day that I’ve been mulling over since it was first published and since Medium doesn’t have a commenting system quite yet I thought I’d share my thoughts here instead. The post, titled Editor, Product Manage Thyself, is an fascinating introspection of a developer turned journalist turned editor and one that I have experience with myself, although I have never considered myself a “journalist” in the typical sense. One of Paul Smalera’s arguments is that editors now have to be just as much product managers in today’s digital economy since they must be […]
Totem: Hunting Down Your Dreams and Killing It
Totem is amazing – there’s no doubt about that. Watching him do his work and craft was mind-blowing, especially considering that he did very little to prepare and just “shot from the hip” (or canister I suppose). I spent a few moments with him right after he finished the last part and talked through his work as well as asked him to give us some advice on how we can do great work by following our passions and creativity. If you’ve got 10 minutes then you need to check this out after the jump:

Interview with Daniel Espinoza, Support Ninja @ WooThemes
We’re having a blast this week with WordCamp starting up tomorrow and our Jelly Event today (still going on)! We’ve met a bunch of folks that we had just known online only and now real tweeps are becoming peeps. Or something like that. As a result, we’re trying to sit down and catch up with as many people as possible and even having an interview or two if we can. This first one was very “off the cuff” with Daniel Espinoza, a Support Ninja @ WooThemes, blogs about development and business at http://danielespinoza.me and he and his wife are living a Life with […]
