Today is the day – WordPress 6.7 and the Twenty Twenty-Five theme…
Introducing Twenty Twenty-Five – Make WordPress Core:
Twenty Twenty-Five embodies ultimate flexibility and adaptability, showcasing the many ways WordPress enables people to tell their stories with many patterns and styles to choose from. The glimpses of natural beauty and ancestry woven into the theme evoke ideas of impermanence, the passage of time, and continuous evolution.
I’m not going to make the joke about introducing you to my little friend. However, I have been installing apps and configuring my new Mac Mini M4 Pro, as well as making some screencasts about what I configure and install. Knowing the past me, those will just sit around, but I’m feeling hopeful that there’s motivation to post them soon. We’ll see.
A couple of notes:
Still putting it through it’s paces, but it’s fun to see how much has improved since the M1 from 2020 entered the household.
Holy Moly!
My favorite photo editor/manager acquired by Apple!!!
A new home for Pixelmator – Pixelmator Blog:
Pixelmator has signed an agreement to be acquired by Apple, subject to regulatory approval. There will be no material changes to the Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator for iOS, and Photomator apps at this time. Stay tuned for exciting updates to come.
I’m stunned!
Mac Mini? Yes, please!
Introducing the far mightier, way tinier, all-new Mac mini. Five by five inches of pure power and purpose. Redesigned around Apple silicon to unleash the full speed and capabilities of M4 and M4 Pro chips. With a wide array of ports, now on the front and back. Mac mini is the definition of efficiency — and the first carbon neutral Mac. It truly is the little Mac that could.
Yes. A Mac Mini Pro is in my future!
5 Reasons to Get Excited About the New Mac Mini – MacRumors:
The new Mac mini will be the first major design change to the machine since 2010, and is expected to become Apple’s smallest ever desktop computer. The slimmed down machine will retain its aluminum casing and be comparable in size to the Apple TV, though it is expected to be taller. Individuals working on the new device reportedly say that it is “essentially an iPad Pro in a small box.”

I agree with everything that Dave Winer says here, except the part about WordPress not knowing what they have – I think they actually do. Anyway, let the dawning of the day where we take back control of our writing begin!
Scripting News: The web lives in WordPress and Mastodon
Like I said the other day, I doubt if Automattic knows what they have. I seriously doubt it. But in a few years, we’re going to look back on this as the moment when Twitter stopped controlling our writing, as they have since 2006.
Excited about season 2, however, I may have a completely different outlook on this series depending on what happens November 5th.
