long and simple – Once more, tomorrow begins two weeks of no phone and no computer. I might start early and turn my phone off momentarily. For now, I’m iterating on some last few PRs with AI while waiting to pick up pizzas with my partner. This two week ritual is one I’m proud of myself for making happen […]
Exploring work in progress for WordPress 7.0 – Following up on my series from WordPress 6.9 (v1, v2), I thought I’d do another round for 7.0. We’re just barely less than one month out from beta 1 and so much is coming together. Because of how much is in progress, I’m specifically going to focus on items that are close enough to the […]
Closing the door (for now) on Content Creators slack channel – Back in September 2025, I launched a new slack channel dedicated to #content-creators, based on a longstanding passion project. It’s been nearly two years since I started trying to push on uniting creators across the WordPress ecosystem and I still believe strongly that this is a pathway to pursue. What became clear though in the […]
Chronic Comrades Volume 3 – This is a part of a series of posts briefly summarizing conversations amongst a group of loves ones I brought together to talk about chronic conditions. None of us has the same situation but all of us work to be present and kind with what comes up. We spoke once more for around 2.5 hours […]
Some Sedona shots – After a local barista gave us the advice that it was okay to still go out hiking, a best pal and I ventured into the fog and rain of Sedona for an early morning hike today. I shoved my camera deep into my jacket, knowing the cold would zap the battery if I wasn’t careful. […]
places with patterns – Again and again, I’m reminded when nomading of how much the situation and place we are impacts us. It’s a lesson I love to re-learn and re-remember because being in back to back new situations gives me a chance to shake loose ideas of myself and patterns I’ve accrued in staying put. It also gives […]
Drafts of some recent block art – I still run for fun the Museum of Block Art (MOBA) and, as part of sharing more of the behind the scenes of how the art is made, I wanted to show some of my drafts of my recent “Circling back” piece. It’s called Circling back because it’s a photo of my partner, available in […]
Returning – Without question, I can say that at the end of this year I feel more like myself. It felt like a year of returning, to places and to ways of being, after 2024 was so brutal. I wanted to renew in 2025 and I feel that I truly did. As with the last two years, […]
mulling – I’m in Winter Park, Florida for the holidays which means I’m spending an inordinate amount of time peeling back emotional and physical layers of my past self. I found Latin textbooks filled with my terrible handwriting trying to make sense of the ancient language that I worked so hard to become good at. I hold […]
new light – I’ve been repeating to myself the following one liner over the last few weeks: May you love someone long enough to see them in a new light. It’s been profoundly grounding and, in some ways, aspirational as I think about certain relationships in my life. What an absolute gift it is to really know someone […]
