The Mirage

During my trip to Savannah, I visited the The Mirage – Mediterranean Bar and Grill (and Hookah bar). It was extremely dark, so sorry if the pictures are a little grainy.

WordPress Hackathon

Michael — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 03:42:43 +0000

Tonight, Steve Mortiboy and I went to the WPHackathon in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was great seeing other local WordPress people again like Glenn Ansley, Sam England, Steve Ollice, and Chad Simon, as well as meeting a number of new people.

If you’re local to the Triangle area, and a WordPress enthusiast, make sure you join the WordPress Meetup Group. With over 178 members, we’re a very active group with monthly meetings, and a WordCamp.

I had an awesome time at WordCamp Savannah. It was great hanging out with everyone again, and meeting some new people as well. If you’re ever in the area, make sure you go to the Crab Shack at Tybee Island!

Just Another WordPress Site

Just noticed that new installations of WordPress now say “Just Another WordPress Site” instead of “Just Another WordPress Blog”.

Cory Miller’s WordCamp Chicago Presentation

Michael — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:54:47 +0000

Everyone’s favorite iThemes owner gave a profound and inspiring presentation about the trials of owning your own WordPress-based enterprise. I saw a lot of parallels to my own experiences as a WordPress entrepreneur in his talk, and certainly took away a lot from it. To those who attended, it was a very moving experience.

Take a look at the video where we show our appreciation:

On the topic of WordCamp, make sure you’re keeping up with the latest WordCamp Raleigh news… we’ve been away in Chicago but will continue to post slideshows, videos, pictures, recaps, etc at wordcampraleigh.com.

Cory Miller loves his All in One SEO Pack shirt!

Cory Miller (of iThemes and webdesign.com) wearing his All in One SEO Pack shirt. Cory told me he likes this one better since this is his normal face. Which picture do you like better, this one or the one from WordCamp?

Favorite WordCamp 2010 picture

Michael — Thu, 27 May 2010 23:59:58 +0000

I’m trying to decide which picture from WordCamp last weekend is my favorite. There are so many great ones but it has to be either this one of Matt Danner or this other that I like the best. Matt Danner (who works for Cory Miller at iThemes) is a great photographer, but somehow always managers to end up in great shots himself!

WordCamp Raleigh went well

iPad converted to PADD

Michael — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 06:04:24 +0000

In Star Trek, they had (or will have?) these little hand-held devices called PADDs, or Personal Access Display Device.

My iPad (iPADD?) my not be made up of isolinear circuits, but it’s enough to satisfy my Star Trek geekiness. You’ll want to take a look at the full size versions of the images below to get the full effect.
