Oh good! I hope you do. You will definitely want to watch to the end. It finishes with a beautiful video of David, and Bob Roth is very emotional when saying goodbye to his friend. 🥹

Did you catch the celebration of his life? It was hosted by Bob Roth and Dr. Tony Nader and provides a very intimate glimpse of importance of TM in his life. www.youtube.com/live/yteyCY9...

Hello dear friend! So good to see you here.

What an interesting little prison we build from the invisible bricks of other people’s opinions.

I'm going to start tagging things like this as #requiredreading. Follow for more, coming soon! I have BRILLIANT friends (@isiscruz11.bsky.social). I love stealing their genius brain nuggets and spreading them around like busy squirrels in a park full of oak trees after a good wind. SO MANY ACORNS!)

I changed my handle and broke the link. Now you have to go to howtall.is/robmoore.me to guess how tall I am.

I say to all the nobody who went to the first link. 🫤

If you're on bsky.app and your name is Rob Moore, I will follow you. Don't make it weird. @robnrdc.bsky.social @drrobmoore.bsky.social @robmoore396.bsky.social @batgringo136.bsky.social @robmoore1955.bsky.social @robmoore13.bsky.social @robmoore1.bsky.social @robmoore987.bsky.social

If my grown daughters had spent an entire afternoon with me, they would have called it "plant chores."

Depiction of two stick figures. Below the heading 1st-26th December, smiling stick figure wears a Santa hat and has the word Festive below. Below the heading 27th-31st December, stick figure looks confused and has a block of cheese in their hand. Below it says “Confused, full of cheese, unsure of the day of the week.”

Isn’t it the truth 😅

Decembruary something

Breaking the Status Quo A vision for a new WordPress era WordPress is at a crossroads, now even more clearly then when I wrote my previous post on WordPress’s roadmap. I had very much intended to leave this topic alone for…

It's clear the #WordPress world needs a change. So I wrote a post about exactly that:

Breaking the Status Quo: A vision for a new WordPress era

Baffling, isn't it? It's December and we still haven't had a snowfall that I couldn't clear with a broom. Not that I'm complaining... and I CERTAINLY don't want to jinx anything! But if it's going to be this cold, shouldn't it be pretty, too? ❄️❄️❄️

Again, hard to explain to strangers. And interviewers.

Hey... if it was meant to be... 🤷 Am I right?

(quietly writing down "background processing" so I don't forget to steal it tomorrow. That is mine now.)

The other related thought in that thread is that all the things get done when they need to get done.

Okay well... They get done. I don't have to understand the timing. And if it doesn't happen, It wasn't meant to be. I don't make the rules.

People who get us just get us. Minds like ours are an acquired taste, so CONGRATULATIONS! You found your person! 😂 It's not easy to explain this sort of brain to strangers.

It's like my brain has a paywall that nothing can afford to get through. "Thank you for that brilliant idea, Brain! Add it to the pile and it will be ignored in the order in which it was received."

Get out of my head! I got progressively more tired as I wrote that, realizing it wasn't a terrible idea, it would almost run itself once it got started, and I had no energy or motivation to finish the thought, let alone think about how to build it. And I could! But I won't.

Okay, floofs.com is pretty awesome. You can build your own Bluesky instance with it and let other people add usernames to it for THEIR floofs. (@maddie.floofs.com? Yes, plz!) Then blog about it on the website to monetize the whole thing. Now it's going to pay for itself!

In theory! Someday! Maybe!

Literally laughing out loud. I just don't use the initials because I'm allergic to cliches.

But $12 a year Is nothing! They're practically free!

...Until I figured out that I basically pay a house payment each year for renewal fees.

This is why we don't do head math, kids. It causes headaches.

AAAAAHHHH!!!! You mean like bluesguy.app? 🤦

Namecheap should have a disclaimer on it like FanDuel.

I CAN QUIT ANY TIME!

(Oh.... "Icanquitanytime" would be a great domain... I wonder what extensions are available still!?)

Also, true confession: I started an account for a pink stuffed unicorn that my niece gave me in Phoenix one year when I visited for a conference. It tracked Rosie the Unicorn's adventures all the way back to Wisconsin and then...
P☁️☁️F!

I couldn't stick with it. 🤷

I'm not a BAD uncle. Just lazy.

It's tempted as I just was, I'm not going back there for the floofs. This isn't a burning building. But if you start another one for rhem here, I will ABSOLUTELY follow!

I posted about six things on Threads and got swarmed by the bots. Same problem on Instagram. It was impossible to filter and not worth the effort.

ALSO: 0% Fennick the Floof. Hard pass.

I don't understand a lot of it yet, but it makes a lot more sense than threads. I tried Mastodon and it was too... Mastodony? I mean how can something be federated and feel so disconnected at the same time?!

This one feels like it's going to stick. So I'm leaning in.
