  • Democratizing Identity

    Originally posted on AUTOMATTIC DESIGN (VOICE RIP): One of the core ideas we stand for here at Automattic is Democratizing Publishing—the idea that anyone with a story should be free to tell it, regardless of income, gender, politics, language, or where they live in the world. We support this idea by providing hosted website services…

    1 year at Automattic, and a new video

    I’ve now been full time at Automattic for a full year 🎉 I will some day write up more about what it means to work here, what I’ve done, and what I hope to do in the future. Something I was asked to be part of / I offered to be part of, was the Automattic…

    So You Want to be a Happiness Engineer, Huh?

    Originally posted on Sandy McFadden: Since joining Automattic (and to the annoyance of some people, I’m sure) I tend to go on about how much I enjoy my job and the company itself. I’ve often been asked what it takes and what you need to know to get the job. Especially since I called people…

  • EWR

    You haven’t checked in to Newark Liberty International Airport since September ’12. Cheers Foursquare, hadn’t really forgotten about that. 4 years, 5 months, 6 days ago. Funny how life has a way of completely 180’ing your thinking. I left the States that day thinking I had this future planned out with someone. It wasn’t to be. I…
