My Travel Schedule for Fall 2019

Posted Updated

Every year there seems to be a season where I travel more than usual, and this year it starts today! Here’s a list of conferences (or cities) I’ll be visiting now through the end of the year. If you’re going to be around at the same time, let me know!

Aug. 12-16: Orlando, FL for Podcast Movement

Last year I went to Podcast Movement because it was in Philly and I could hop the train. I bought tickets to this year’s as soon as the went on sale. I thought it was an all-around fantastic conference and I hope to get even more out of it this year.

As an aside, I’ll be spending Thursday evening at Disney World, previewing Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The stars truly aligned!

Aug. 17: Lehigh Valley, PA for WordCamp Lehigh Valley

This is a WordCamp I never miss – it’s fun, small, and there are always great people in attendance. This year I’m speaking about podcasting with WordPress!

Sept 14th: NYC for WordCamp NYC

I’m SO excited to be speaking at WordCamp NYC for the first time. Keeping with the theme, I’m speaking about Podcasting! Be sure to come say hi if you’ll be there.

Sept 30 – Oct 4: Mexico for CaboPress

CaboPress is an event I look forward to every year, and not just because it’s at a beautiful resort in Mexico. And not just because it’s put on by a good friend….who enjoys cigars even more than I do…

No, I look forward to this because of the amazing people the come together to talk about their businesses. I’ve gotten clarity each year I’ve attended, and my business grew because of it. I expect this year will be no different.

Oct. 5-6: Philly for WordCamp Philly

I’m the lead organizer for WordCamp Philly this year so I’ll probably be running around like a mad man.

That said, you should totally come! It’s at a great venue and we have some fantastic talks and a panel you won’t want to miss.

Oct 12-14: Houston, TX for a Cigar Event

OK this one isn’t for “professional” purposes, per say. I’m getting together with some friends for this fantastic cigar festival.

Nov 1-3: St. Louis for WCUS

Another cold streak broken, I’m speaking at WCUS this year for the first time since 2015! I’m excited to be attending, and super stoked to see St. Louis. Too bad it’s just after baseball season!

I’m speaking about how to give your very own rock solid talk at a WordCamp.

Like I said, if you’re going to be at any of these events, please reach out – I’d love to say hi!

    Learning HTML and CSS (with My New Book, Out Now!)

    I’ve always been a learn-by-doing kind of guy. Maybe it’s because I’m thinking about other things when something is explained to me, or maybe people are bad at explaining things. But either way, a concept doesn’t really sink in until I do it, or until I see an immediate application for it. When I learned…

  • How Should the WordPress Open Source Project Support Contributors?

    They say no good deed goes unpunished. Recently in the WordPress space, perhaps even the wider open source space, there’s been a lot of discussion about that. Is contributing to WordPress worth it? In December Matt Mullenweg asked us to give Five for the Future. He talked about the Tragedy of the Commons. But who is really contributing to open source? And how do we make sure people who do contribute don’t feel like their good deed results in punishment?

    The end of the year is always a fun time for me to reflect on many things and look forward to what’s coming. 2022 is even more special because it’s the year I left web development to focus on podcasting full-time. As part of that, I like to review my favorite tech and media from…

    Regarding Building WordPress Themes from Scratch

    Bycasabona

    Lately I have been receiving a lot of questions regarding the availability of my book, Building WordPress Themes from Scratch. After speaking with the publisher, Rockable Press, it seems they’ve had to make some unfortunate changes regarding their distribution model. From their website: All Rockable Press books are now exclusively available with any Tuts+ Premium subscription,…
