This GitHub/CoderDojo announcement was my 1000th post on tekArtist. :)
It’s been a wild ride since my first post under that name online in 2006, originally on Blogger, but promptly followed by a move to WordPress in 2007. It ultimately led to me getting the best job of my life at Automattic, wrangling up the most-awesomest-est WordPress.com code everyday, just for you. Turns out happiness is a blog… err, site.
GitHub is working with CoderDojo to bring their kid-code-teaching classes to the US, with the first event to be hosted in their San Francisco offices. Sounds like a pretty great event to get involved in. Hope it’ll spread to more than SF.

I think Open Source is kind of like our Bill of Rights. It’s our Constitution. If we’re not true to that, nothing else matters.

I wanted to have my images and videos displayed much wider than by default in the Twenty Eleven theme, but only when viewing single entries (where there is no sidebar). Here are the few simple tweaks I’ve implemented using the WordPress.com Custom CSS upgrade. They’re not foolproof when it come to embeds, but they work well enough for my current needs.
