What’s in My Bag, 2025
It's another year, I have ordered all the things and tested all the cables, there's a little bit about tech and a little bit about life. Here's what made the cut, now I'm going to be factoring in weight of everything as well. The flat-lay this year was taken at my sister Charleen's house, where she hosted Christmas for our family for the very first time.

Matt 4.1
Forty-one is a nice birthday because it doesn't feel like too much pressure. For forty I did a big eclipse thing that ended up amazing, this year I'm replicating what I did a few years ago and celebrating in New York, Houston, and San Francisco. My birthday today has already been lovely. Saw the amazing Broadway show Maybe Happy Ending…

I wrote over on WordPress.org about breaking the status quo with a Joost/Karim fork. It’s a perfect time as Automattic is re-focusing its work while the legal stuff is going on.

Inc Hit Piece
When Inc Magazine reached out to have David H. Freedman (website powered by WordPress) write a feature piece I was excited because though Inc wasn't a magazine I have read much since I was a teenager, David seemed like a legit journalist who usually writes for better publications like The Atlantic. I opened up to David with a number of vulnerable stories, and allowed the photo shoot in my home in Houston.

State of the Word Tokyo
It's a dream come true being here in Tokyo for State of the Word 2024. We're going to be in an amazing venue that looks over the city. Most of WordPress and Automattic's senior leadership is here, and we'll also have several hundred folks from the local community and press. We've gotten so much inspiration over the years from Japanese culture, we wanted to make this event really "of the space" so we're doing a few extra things this year.

UH Magazine, Revisting My Alma Mater
My father attended University of Houston, and it's where I went to college to study political science, I started WordPress when there, and then dropped out after two years to move to San Franisco. It was fun seeing UH Magazine feature an article about my journey from a University of Houston student to co-founding WordPress and leading Automattic. I was surprised they put me on the cover of the physical edition!

DrupalCon Singapore
This week, DrupalCon Singapore is bringing together an incredible community of Drupal platform creators, developers, and supporters. Last year, I had the chance to share the stage with Dries Buytaert, the founder of Drupal, and the conversation stuck with me. It highlighted the profound impact we can have when communities like ours come together to push the boundaries of Open Source and shape the future of the web.

Age-gating
I'm not opposed to age-gating at all, I think it's appropriate in many situations and useful, and democratic societies can decide their own rules there. But it should be handled and authenticated as low-level as possible, at the operating system layer. See also: Australia's Senate bans social media for kids under 16. But there are lots of other less controversial examples, like adult websites, or ordering alcohol online or through an app.

Welcoming Harper
As announced by Automattic and covered by TechCrunch, I want to take a moment to welcome Elijah Potter and Harper to join Automattic. Harper is a super-fast (way faster than LanguageTool and Grammerly), local English grammar checker. The technology is nascent, but I'm very excited to embed this throughout all of Automattic's products, and then expanding it to other languages, all in an open source way that can be embedded everywhere.

RIP Quincy Jones
Quincy Jones had such an impact on the culture that it's impossible to summarize. His discography is amazing. I feel so lucky to have met him in 2012 when I was much earlier in my career, and he didn't have any reason to give me time, but he treated everyone as if they were important. We talked a lot about his Count Basie and Frank Sinatra days.

I Voted!
It was a huge pain in the butt, because my mail-in ballot didn't register properly, but I found a last-minute flight to Houston and this morning walked over to Congregation Emanu El and voted. It is our most sacred duty as a citizen. I encourage every American to vote.
