Everybody jokes about that old story about the world only needing five computers, but when you think about it, that's where we're heading.

Historically, WordPress has been purely focused on the writing side. However, we're thinking about mobile completely differently, and I think there's a big opportunity to take the community of creators that loves WordPress and deliver an audience to the amazing things they're making.

I do my best stuff midmorning and super late at night, from 1 to 5 in the morning. Some people don't need to sleep. I actually do need sleep. I just sleep all the time. Furthermore, I'll catch naps in the afternoon, or I'll take a 20-minute snooze in the office - just all the time. Our business is 24 hours. Our guys in Europe come online at midnight.

I like to read first thing in the morning. I'm addicted to the Kindle. Furthermore, I read a lot of business books, because I feel like I should figure out how to be a real businessman before someone figures out that I'm not one. Furthermore, I really enjoy reading classics as well, which I try to work in once every two months.

In my brief sojourn in college, my favorite classes were political science because I loved the idea of systems we can set up that benefit society - rules we can put in place that sometimes you run against, sometimes they're painful, but ultimately they benefit the world.

In my home office, I have two large, 30-inch computer monitors - a Mac and a PC. They share the same mouse and keyboard, so I can type or copy and paste between them. I'll typically do Web stuff on the Mac and e-mail and chat stuff on the PC.

In the morning, I have certain aspirations. One of my goals is to avoid looking at the computer or checking e-mail for at least an hour after I wake up. I also try to avoid alarm clocks as much as possible, because it's just nice to wake up without one.

Jeffrey Feldman had an astonishing ability to craft a seductive coolness using educated references, dry humor, and retro/organic imagery.

One thing about open source is that even the failures contribute to the next thing that comes up. Unlike a company that could spend a million dollars in two years and fail and there's nothing really to show for it, if you spend a million dollars on open source, you probably have something amazing that other people can build on.

The promise of the early web was that everyone could have a website, but there was something missing. Maybe the technology wasn't ready.
