Happiness Division Meetup in Denver
Last week, I spent time in Denver with around 400 other Automatticians, mostly from our Happiness division – support for WordPress.com, Jetpack, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and many more awesome services.

Madrid + Nashville
It was really never my intention to avoid travel after Willa was born, but as you all know the pandemic hit in late March 2020 when she was just 7 months old. We hadn’t gone anywhere as a family or separately at that point because we didn’t want to expose an infant to unnecessary germs, […]

The Great “Grand Meetup”
It’s taken me a few days to decompress from all of the awesome-ness that recently taken place (aka I went into a coma shortly after helping put on WordCamp DFW directly after returning from Grand Meetup 2016!). That’s right, I have attended my first “Grand Meetup” as an Automattician (also known as A12n or A12s […]
