Actually, its awesome. This site runs on WordPress. So do 10 million other sites; or so I’ve heard. A few weeks ago a whole twitter storm erupted over a certain theme that you can buy for WordPress. At issue was how the theme was licensed and whether or not that was congruent with WordPress’s GPL. The short answer is it wasn’t; or isn’t. You can read about what a GPL means here, but the short answer is it means that any software based off of General Public Licenced software also must be GPL’d. I know, its all real exciting.

But there was an exciting part for me! And since this is my site, I get to write about that here! The guy who was behind this theme made the claim in an interview that “he was one of the 3 most important people in WordPress”. Now, he has a lot of users of his theme, but the claim is was crazy outrageous. The guy has a serious case of narcissism (as it turns out, my kind of guy!). So the founder of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg, decided to give away some t-shirts and certificates to anyone who ask. I asked… and now I’m One of the three most important people in WordPress too!

…

And then I found $5.

Oh, My! http://www.sethneal.com/blog/macs-and-iphones-and-tweets/ http://www.sethneal.com/blog/macs-and-iphones-and-tweets/#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:45:49 +0000 Seth Neal http://www.sethneal.com/?p=229 Dorothy and friends...How did the world function before the iPhone? I can’t even remember. Honestly. I can’t even pretend-imagine.

I was in the car with The Wife and The Boy yesterday in Nampa, ID. I don’t even know how we ended up there, but we did and I was completely lost. Trusty iPhone to the rescue (and Google Maps too)! But wait! We can’t leave Nampa yet? Why? We need to eat, that’s why (I’m fairly certain the wife must be prego). What to do?

Well, why you think about it, I posted this to Twitter from my iPhone (with the great Tweetie app), “Lost in the 2C and need to find a place to eat with the family! Suggestions?” and within 60 seconds I get this response, “Where are you by? There is Brick 29, Darby’s, Krung Thai, House of Kim, Le Belle Vie all by the DT core.” from @TreasuredValley. Who… I’ve never even met in real life. And guess what? Brick 29 is awesome!

And on the way home we reserved a RedBox via our iPhone to watch on our iMac that night.

I’m serious here folks… how, did, we, do, it?
