Upcoming WordPress 3.2 Distraction Free Writing Mode

Andrew has now committed a very spiffy improvement to the little-known full screen editing mode in WordPress.

The Distraction Free Writing mode has been in trunk since yesterday. Would appreciate comments, suggestions, opinions, etc. Bug reports should probably go on #17136.

Via WordPress Development Updates

Here are some screenshots, for your viewing pleasure, of what is currently in WP trunk.

New Diabolical Skateboards Deck and T-Shirt


Check out what I received in the mail today, surprise courtesy of the always excellent Kevin Conboy.
Thanks Kev’, I’m stoked!

Diabolical is a Denver (CO) based skateboard company. Haven’t gotten Kevin’s connection back story yet, beyond the shared location. :)

The deck is their George Nagai pro model. You can see his handy work in the video edit embedded below.

Unsurprisingly yet always a source of  contentment on my end, Diabolical’s site is running on WordPress (but of course).

Beastie Boys: Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

You can stream the Beastie Boys‘ complete new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, from their dedicated mini-site. You can also pre-order it from iTunes.

I’m able to embed the album here because like the Foo Fighters recently did with Wasting Light, the B-Boys opted to use SoundCloud‘s brilliant API and player for their streaming needs. This means the player can be embedded via shortcode on WordPress.com, a plugin on self-hosted WordPress, auto-embeds when posted or liked on Facebook, etc.
