Here’s an excerpt:

Madison Square Garden can seat 20,000 people for a concert. This blog was viewed about 64,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Madison Square Garden, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Team Fortress 2 Replays

Team Fortress 2 just keeps getting better. Now that you can save replays and edit them to your liking, it’s tempting to not play any other game (which is probably what Valve wants I suppose). Here’s me as a pyro returning a rocket at the bad guys!

App Evolution

Yesterday we released WordPress for Android 2.0. The app has had a wild ride since I started it out as wpToGo over 3 years ago. Check out how it has evolved over the years:

WordPress for Android 2.0, bringing sexy back to mobile blogging!

I wonder what 3.0 will look like?

Klahanie Christmas Craziness

We were up in the Klahanie neighborhood of Issaquah tonight, and our friend Melissa took us on a tour of the neighborhood Christmas lights. One place had a sign to tune in to an FM radio station, and the lights on the house flashed along with the music! Simply awesome.


Here’s a way overdone house as well, imagine this guy’s power bill!
