LEGO Minifigure – 1000 Piece Puzzle
Another puzzle down, and this LEGO minifigure one kept pulling us back to the table. Tricky in places, fun in others, and somehow the perfect excuse for the kids to stall homework just a little longer.
The AI plugin (formerly AI Experiments) continues to evolve.
In 0.6.0 you can:
• Refine generated images iteratively
• Edit existing images in the Media Library
• Use preset editing workflows
• Benefit from improved editor integration and developer tooling
This release moves us closer to native-feeling AI workflows in WordPress.

Tiger Sanctuary – 500 Piece Puzzle
The Tiger Sanctuary 500-piece puzzle was a fun challenge with tricky tiger colors. We focused on the plants and elephants to make progress. Oops, we forgot to test the glow-in-the-dark feature! Guess we’ll try again soon!
AI Experiments 0.5.0 has been released!
This update aligns the plugin with WordPress 7.0’s built-in AI infrastructure, removes standalone AI client dependencies, and migrates credentials to the new Connectors screen.

A recent family puzzle night featured a puzzle from Fueled Shop, our company’s Pressto Shop-powered merch store. The experience highlighted both the convenience of print-on-demand merchandise and some of its tradeoffs.

I’m pleased to be a founding donor to the Open Source Endowment, a new initiative exploring a community-funded endowment model to sustainably support critical open source infrastructure.
The WordPress community has created the Zeel Thakkar Memorial Scholarship to help women from India and Nepal attend WordCamp Asia.
I had the chance to see Zeel contributing during WordPress 6.7 and 6.8 release parties and was saddened by her passing. I’ve made a donation and hope others will consider supporting this effort.
