by
So it was Super Bowl weekend and while 140 private jets appear to have been tasked with delivering rich people back home after the event I was rushing through Mcdonald’s and was delivered a paper straw to drink with. As you can guess from the title, it got soggy long before I was done with…

Chris’ WordPress Wishlist
by
I strongly agree with Chris. WordPress needs to modernize it’s PHP setup and should work with 8.2. The biggest hurdle will be all the 3rd party plugins that make WordPress so useful as a content management system. They all need to be updated. I also wish that the editor would gain in performance. I’m writing…
