I’m not dead

Hon­est. I’m just really busy. I’m still teach­ing judo, I’m try­ing to write an inter­est­ing Word­Press plu­gin or three, and I’m men­tor­ing two youths in writ­ing. So what’s new with you?

WordCamp Toronto Dev

On today’s agenda: mobile sites, struc­tured data, and other goodies.

Happy Hollow Bean, everybody

B. good.
