Freedom – Poetry Day 5
Today I did a Cinquain poem. As I was looking for a type of poem-style to write, I came across this style. There are different ways to write a Cinquain. I saw a 2-4-6-8-2 style and different 1,2,3,4,1 – word styles. I went for the latter. That was further refined in this example by stating…

It said: I work on the Happiness team at Automattic and would like to chat about your recent Happiness Engineer application. Are you free on Friday, July 25th, 8:30am Eastern time…

Could you, too, Become a WordCamp Groupie? (Join Me)
A year ago I had never even heard of WordCamp. Now, as soon as one is finished I’m looking for the next in my area. And I’m not the only one. I’m starting to recognize WordPress friends every camp I go to, and have even started adjusted our traveling plans so we can hang out with…
