This past weekend, I decided to change things up a little bit on my blog. Nothing extreme – I’m still using WordPress but I moved my blog from WordPress.com to Pressable, a self-hosted solution. My main reason was so that I could be more helpful in testing out other Automattic products, such as Jetpack, as well as some new Core features, such as the beta Gutenberg editor. Additionally, a self-hosted solution will allow me to customize things a bit further that I would be able to on WordPress.com … but I don’t really plan to do a whole lot of that at the moment.

Afternoon at Reedy River
I took this a couple weeks ago. I took a mid-afternoon break that day and decided to get some bubble tea at the café by the river.

A Nightmare on Esplanade Ave
This may be the creepiest house I’ve ever seen. It was just a couple of blocks over from where we stayed in New Orleans, during my team meetup last week. It’s like a real-life House of 1000 Corpses. Notice the glass shards all along the wall – do you think that’s so people don’t get in … or out?

The Heidelberg Project
The Heidelberg Project is an outdoor art project in Detroit, Michigan, in the McDougall-Hunt neighborhood on the city’s east side. It was created in 1986 by the artist Tyree Guyton after he returned to Heidelberg (the street where he grew up) after serving in the Army and found it in shambles. Guyton was assisted by his wife, Karen, and grandfather Sam Mackey.

Had a great time with Rebrand Detroit at the #hackdetroit event. Really enjoyed helping out small, local businesses with setting up their websites on WordPress!

The world isn’t fair – but moral standards apply to us all. The ruler isn’t always a superior person. And those ruled aren’t always inferior. The world doesn’t belong to the rich, or even the powerful – but to those of pure heart. Have you thought of the children? All of the things we do, they see us. We need to be good role models. All these things we do, aren’t for today – but for tomorrow.
