I'm going to be doing a LIVE webinar with Matthias Pfefferle on Weds 24th April at 3pm (UK time). It's all about WordPress and the Fediverse (think Mastodon) and how to turn your website into a member of this growing social network. It'll be at wpbuilds.com/live.

Okay so I'm never going to do anything other than write single sentence prompts and get entire songs back in seconds. My life is now literally over. I shall do nothing expect this, ever again! Listen to "Double U Pee Builds"! "Fulfilling your dreams!"

For years, WP Builds header has said "A WordPress podcast packed full of things that you either don’t want to know or are clever enough to work out that we just made up!" I wonder if I should alter that, and if you could help me with it? What is WP Builds? Gosh, that's heavy!

Okay, so this is a bit weird, but someone asked me the other day how I would encapsulate the WordPress community in one word. I came up with "kind". What would you say is the one word to sum up the community, not the software?

So, I'm trying this out... Mastodon only for now! I want to be a part of a "WP Builds" community, but all-the-platforms seem to put themselves first... ads, and ways to monetise. I recently found Discord, and set up a WP Builds server. I'm no expert, and WILL screw things up, but if you're into WordPress and want to try this out with me, here's a link to join our Discord: https://discord.gg/fCrfrvgpv6 I hope that this works!!!! Please let me know if it does not!?!? 😀

Just a thoought... You don't need the Internet-of-things or AI in your fridge, or microwave, or pizza oven, or car etc. Anyone who says that you do is likely not worthy of your business. The more we connect these things, the more likely they sre to break in ways that you and I cannot fix!

I wonder what you think. Are we capable of having a productive discourse across the internet? There's so many local / regional / national / political differences. Are we capable of ignoring / overcoming those boundaries? Or does the internet exacerbate them? I'm finding it hard to encompass my dilemma, but it's really... are people from where I live able to meaningfully talk about all-the-things with people from all-the-other-places?

Sometimes I wonder if we expect too much from our planet...

After ruminating on this for quite a while... in terms of the climate and how it's affected by our addition to electricity. Right now you have 2 choices... use less or stop using as much. Everything else is folly. I say this from a laptop uploading photos of my family to the cloud. The dilemma / addition is real!

I have kids, several in fact. I made it a policy years ago to never share their images, thoughts, achievements etc. Last night I came so close to breaking that rule, but I'm glad that I didn't. I love that my kids get to make their own way without a legacy of my 'proud' moments.

Just wondered if you had any thoughts on AI and #wordpress? Should WordPress build aspects of AI into Core and what would they be? Perhaps this should be entirely the domain of plugins? What do you think?

After dabbling with a bunch of browsers over the past few weeks, #firefox, #arc, #vivaldi, I'm back to #brave for a variety of reasons! What are you all using as your daily driver?

I wear over-ear headphones pretty much all the time when I'm working at the computer. So much so that I really cannot concentrate when I'm not wearing them, even if I have no intention of listening to anything. I wonder if other folk have a similar, unexpected behaviour!

I was in England today. Had a late breakfast, did some gardening, played tennis with my son, went out to a local orchestra concert. Quite a nice Saturday all in all. Particularly this exact Saturday.

I can guarantee you three things this morning. 1. I hate paperwork more than you do. 2. I am worse at paperwork than you are. 3. I can think of more ingenious ways of avoiding paperwork than it's possible for you to imagine.

Slightly odd question, but what is the 'best' piece of software that you use? Could be a publishing platform, a desktop / mobile app... anything. I'm curious to know what you all like. I think that mine is Descript, which helps me edit podcasts. Over to you!
