It’s web address. Although, Delicious Social Bookmarks has had the delicious.com URL as long as I can remember (3yrs?), it’s only now retiring del.icio.us in favor of it.

Stuff White Victoria People Like
Stuff White People Like is coming to Victoria!
Victoria is one of the stops on the book tour. Get your copy of the fresh minted book signed by Christian Lander at Chapters on August 10th, 2:00 p.m. He’ll be in Vancouver a couple of days later.
The Survey for People that Make Websites
The A List Apart web professional survey took maybe five minutes to fill out, and the results will be well worth your time.
No Skype Report this User?
“And of course, like its complete lack of real-time customer service, Skype has no “report this user” function. So, you Skypers are on your own.”, Jim Higdon, “What’s the Deal with Skype Spam?”
Having my weekly dose of Skype Spam, I looked for a “report this user” button. Not satisfied with the Block button, I thought to myself, why?
I think it is: pissed off at being harassed by that person, I want justice (maybe revenge).
The family that _____ together _____ together
What is your favorite way to fill in those blanks?
Wikiality
There is a huge Wikipedia frontier of articles.

Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
This past week educator Randy Pausch passed away. Randy is an incredible inspiration to me. If somehow you haven’t watched his last lecture, make the time:
His Time Management lecture is also brilliant. If you want to check out one of his many gifts to us check out Alice.
I’m looking forward to reading his book. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
WordPress for iPhone + Source Code Available!
Earlier this week my Automattic colleagues and Effigent released WordPress for iPhone and iPod Touch. Now, the source is also available and Trac is set up for reporting bugs and participating in development!
I’ve tried it on my iPod Touch. They’ve done a great job! And are urgently working on fixing the worse bugs.
It’s already in the top 50 free apps.
Not Invited to the Open Web
Some friends have asked if WordPress and Automattic will be participating in the Open Web Foundation. It does look like a brilliant initiative, but as far as I know we weren’t invited. That’s really unfortunate, because I don’t think there could have been a greater gesture of co-operation in the blogging industry than David Recordon of Six Apart inviting us to be founding members.
Don’t worry, it won’t stop us doing everything we can to support the open web.
Geniuses for WordCamp SF Bar?
WordCamp San Francisco is less than a month away. This year it’s one day, Saturday, August 16 at the Mission Bay Conference Center.
I’m putting together a genius bar for WordCamp where people will have their questions answered one-on-one. Are you able to volunteer your WordPress expertise? You don’t even have to be physically there, but then no brisket for you.
Do you have a question you hope to have answered at WordCamp SF?
