The recording begins right after Frank has escaped from a hot and crowded bus on a nightmare morning commute. Walking across the snow and ice, Frank finally arrives at 7-11 in Lyndhurst, NJ, and buys some good stuff. He gets another bus, which is nearly empty, and records all the way to NYC, reviewing a beverage (”Naked Acai Machine”) and a snack (”Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Crackers - Cheddar”). he arrive at the Port Authority Bus Terminal and then enters the subway system, including the “Playaway” portable audio player version of Neil Gaiman’s book “Anansi Boys”.

Thank a Plugin Developer Day

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

WordPress by itself is very simple — what makes it compelling for most of its users is the wide array of plugins (and themes) available for WP. The average WordPress blog has about 5 plugins installed! Today we just passed 4,000 plugins available in our plugin directory. (Which is also embedded into everyone’s WordPress 2.7 or above.)

I declare January 28th our official “Thank a Plugin Developer” day. To celebrate take a look at the plugins you use and love, visit the author’s site, find their contact form, and drop them a note thanking them. (Or Paypal!) Look for the links in the plugin directory to “author homepage” and also to donate directly if they’ve specified a Paypal address.

Thank you to everyone who has ever written a plugin for WordPress, and here’s to the next four thousand. )
