@perishablepress.com I was brainstorming a name for a new theme and thought ‘Entropy’ would be perfect. Naturally, I had to check if it was already taken… and, well, you can guess where that led me. Haha! perishablepress.com/entropy-theme/

“To recoup their existing and announced investments, AI companies will have to bring in $2 trillion, more than the combined revenue of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia and Meta.
“And they have to bring in that $2 trillion before all those GPUs burn out…which is, again, about 2–3 years.”

State of the Word, WordPress 6.9, Carousel Block and more — Weekend Edition #350
Read onlineIssue #350 | November 22, 2025 Hi there, Munich got hit with the first snow for this Winter. It started slowly on Friday morning, and by the afternoon the flakes got larger and the white started to cover tree branches, roofs and cars. It might all be gone by tomorrow, though, as the weather forecast shows -7 °C (19.4 °F) with sunshine.❄️ I am still a Floridian Weather whimp, but I like the snow covering the overcast gray of an Autumn day.

They say AI will replace the web as we know it, and this time they mean it. Here follows a short list of previous times they also meant it, starting way back in 1997.

They say AI will replace the web as we know it, and this time they mean it. Here follows a short list of previous times they also meant it, starting way back in 1997. Wired: March 1, 1997: “You can kiss your web browser goodbye” – Kevin Kelly and Gary Wolf, The Big Story. 1Inspired by the success of PointCast, a clever application that displayed news headlines as a screensaver, our "Push!" story argued that Web browsers were about to become obsolete.

Read onlineIssue #344 | October 11, 2025 Howdy, After meeting so many people at WordCamp Gdynia, on the plane and then on the train, I caught a nasty cold and struggled all week. I call this stage mushbrain, and everything becomes much harder, especially reading comprehension suffers. I am over it now, though. It also wasn't the first time that I sounded horsey on a podcast episode.

An article published on a blog is a blog post. It is not a blog.
“Do you read my blog?” is a correctly worded question. “Did you read my blog?” (meaning did you read my blog post) is not.
