@topher1kenobe Yes, I’ve visited the site a couple times. Saw the other links, too, so I have plenty to look at. Thanks!
@topher1kenobe I think that would be very useful. Do you have any of it already created? Point me to the best places to view your work. Thanks.

@topher1kenobe Topher, I just watched the video and appreciated your commentary. Also subscribed to your YouTube channel.

I’d seen you around the #wordpress ecosystem, but had never read or watched any of your material. (So much stuff to read, so little time!) But a few days ago listened to your interview with Nathan Wrigley on #WPTavern and was very impressed by your approach to work and life. I'll pay more attention from now on. Keep up the good work!

Apparently there has been some kind of data breach of CodeRED, a high-speed telephone calling and texting system that is used to notify residents about emergency situations.

This notice from Woodbury, Minn. states that the local sheriff's office has taken measures to transition its CodeRED emergency system following "a recent cyberattack and data breach that has impacted hundreds of agencies nationwide."

"CodeRED has reported the impacted dataset may contain contact information of CodeRED users such as: name, address, email address, phone numbers, and/or associated passwords used to create user profiles for alerts. If the same password is used by system users for any other personal or business accounts, those passwords should be changed immediately."

Right. It's mashed potato time.

Spuds. Boil. Add: metric fuckton of butter, chopped parsley, mashed garlic, salt, pepper, cheese, dollop of Coleman's mustard.
