  • A Much-Needed Respite In Virginia

    One of the biggest challenges that comes from our current phase of travel is that we rarely get an opportunity to get away from our kids. They’re always with us, simply because there’s nobody nearby to watch them and they’re too young to take care of themselves right now. We don’t send them to school,…

  • I’m thrilled to see that Automattic is backing the ActivityPub plugin! This is a big deal for WordPress and it’s future, and it gladdens me to see heavy hitters like A8C contributing to something as important as this. https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

  • I built a Headless Multisite WordPress platform With GraphQL

    This post explores the details that went into into my personal content publishing platform for my site, as well as the other blogs that I run.

  • I got my Tiny Shiny Home hat today! I’m a huge fan of their content and picked up a hat during one of their livestreams earlier this year.

  • So this week, we happen to be parked somewhere that’s close-enough to a family member that they were able to come out and park beside us for a few days. I’m so happy to see a familiar face! That’s one thing I didn’t expect about travel – I always thought I was basically saying “bye”…

  • SpinupWP – A Delightful Self-Hosting Option

    If you’re at least mildly comfortable with using the command line, and you value customization and low-cost hosting options that you can scale to suit your needs, You’re going to want to check out SpinupWP.

  • I’m still technically in the south I guess, but Virginia is about as far north as the south gets. I’m glad to be coming north, because I miss my stouts! It’s so hard to find a good stout in the south.
