The Genie in the Bottle: Matt’s State of the Word Press World & other news from WORDCAMP

August 17, 2008

Strong, says Matt of AUTOMATTIC, the guy behind it all, the guy behind the curtain.

Matt--the man behind the WP curtain

Matt

The Numbers: most didn’t mean much to me. But that’s ok. PHP! is the language behind WordPress. Didn’t know that. Multi-modal…press this! BackPress. BuddyPress! Crazyhorse (codename for the new WP version due out in November!) Themes galore–real estate! resume! you name it!

I did notice that Matt’s jeans are more stone washed on one side–the front–than the otherside. Not sure what this mean but it could be that when he’s nervous, he rubs his legs with acid. Hmnn.

He also plays with a plastic water bottle relentlessly. Maybe he rubs the bottle on his leg, wearing the blue of his jeans off. My chiropractor Dr. Doreo recommends you do this to release your quads if you sit around too much–rub a bottle on the tops and the sides of your legs. Maybe he should stop sitting so much, do more yoga, and keep rubbing that bottle.

He says however that I am a wonderful blogger (me and everyone else in the room)!

Maybe the bottle he’s rubbing is for luck. Maybe a genie comes out of that bottle. Maybe it already has–that genie is called WORDPRESS!

PS Thanks Randy, for the photo of Matt…
