It looks like Ubiquiti is coming for Sonos with its PoE Audio Port, a $199 device that closely resembles the $499 Sonos Port, and $599 PowerAmp. Sonos is going up-market with the Amp Multi.
Sonos has had a rough patch, but I’m pretty ride or die for them, and some of my favorite people are there: Tom Conrad, the CEO, Hugo Barra on the board, and Mike Tatum in CorpDev (he’s the guy who got me to drop out of college and join CNET back in 2004!).
The only time I don’t do Sonos in a home is for…

WCEU
Cześć wszystkim, Kraków... I made the call not to fly to Poland for WordCamp Europe. I'm very for the last-minute notice; I was really hoping to make it. I’m okay, but I want to stay close to loved ones going through difficult times. Seeing the pictures from Contributor Day warms my heart. Bardzo za Wami tęsknię. I miss you dearly.

Maybe
I think I heard this parable somewhere in the 14 hours of Alan Watts lectures someone recommended to me in 2017, but here's a beautiful 2-minute version I'd love to share for everyone going through something. I really appreciate the love and support I received after the WP23 post, and I do want to tell people I'm okay, the post was part catharsis and part giving voice to what I see and hear privately from people who aren't public figures.
RIP Sonny Rollins
Sonny Rollins, the Saxophone Colossus, has passed. He is probably my favorite saxophonist, and while the aforementioned album is one of the five I would take to a deserted island, he has so many other good ones like The Cutting Edge which also has bagpipes, or Sonny Side Up with Sonny Stitt and Dizzy Gillespie.

Easter Thoughts
You call yourself a Christian engineer, but you haven’t given your life to Open Source? Huh. What license would Jesus choose? I don’t know if it’s GPL or MIT, but sure as heck it isn’t proprietary. Letting proprietary code dictate your life is like following a Bible you’re not allowed to read. Beware those who would seek to mediate your relationship to the divine. Happy Easter, y’all. 🙏🐰🌈
