After upgrading to WordPress 2.5, my blog’s admin area has become mostly unusable.  There will continue to be lul in new posts as I move to a custom publishing system.  WordPress has regularly disappointed me for years.  The fact that I stuck with it for this long is a testament to my laziness.
Expansion on Craig Hockenberry’s comparison of iTunes Store partnerships and App Store partnerships.

Microsoft will purchase Yahoo. It hasn’t happened yet, but the bid is now officially on the table, and it will happen. My previous experiences with unsolicited takeovers have shown me that they are usually best measured in terms of when—not if.
