The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 5,400 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.
I was joking to a coworker the other night that I probably change themes more than I post. Of course I immediately go change themes again. I now have something that I’m really happy with.
I’m using TwentyEleven as my theme and the Custom Design upgrade available on WordPress.com. The fonts I’m using are Coquette for the site title, Calluna for the headings, and Calluna Sans for the body text. I’m using a modified version of Daryl Koopersmith’s Hum child theme. The background image is made by my brilliant friend Keith Frank :D from my previous theme Modularity Lite.
I participated in the Worldwide WordPress 5k. I didn’t do anything crazy like breakdancing but I took a nice hike with my family. We went to a trail at a local park.

Consider going out for a walk today. Get some fresh air, stretch your legs, and enjoy nature.

Fellow code wrangler Stephane Daury has a quick guide on having a tumble (curation) blog at WordPress.com.
The example is I ♥ iPhone Photos.
I plan on doing something similar with some of my photos soon.
Just launched some new features on WordPress.com! If you have any feedback or suggestions feel free to leave them on the original post.
I’m going into my third week so I’m a little bit behind with this post, but I would still like to make a real announcement:
I am a full time Code Wrangler at Automattic, Inc!
Everyone here is super-cool, talented and extremely pleasant to work with. I’m coming in already having met and worked with a few other Automatticans (during my two Google Summer of Code projects and at WordCamps) so it’s great to be able to continue those relationships.
In addition to my new awesome co-workers: I get to work on a platform that I love, I get to be avaiable for speaking opportunities at WordCamps and other conferences and I get to be more involved with the WordPress community as a whole. To put it bluntly, this is a dream job come true.
Thanks to everyone over the years that have made this possible! I am very excited to see what the future holds for me here.
