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:

Easy Digital Downloads See v1.5, Massive Update

I wanted to post simply here so as to direct people to this so they can have their questions answered succinctly, especially around performance and security. The question usually is asked like this:
You and Hello Dolly @ WordCamp Atlanta?
We’re stoked as WordCamp Atlanta (it’s completely sold out!) is just a few days away – it’s getting hot and heavy as we’re preparing not only our talks (most of this team is scheduled to speak) but also organize the event and speaker / VIP party after.

In addition, we’re expecting more of our staff that are from out of town to show up too, including our […]
