On the way to a geek Meetup, Dec 2011.

I just learned about this tonight at an Atlanta WordPress Meetup.  Funny, an update appearing as we were meeting.  The Meetup group and meeting was great!  We had some experts demonstrate how to create WordPress plugins.

The latest and greatest version of the WordPress software — 3.3, named “Sonny” in honor of the great jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt — is immediately available for download or update inside your WordPress dashboard.

WordPress has had over 65 million downloads since version 3.0 was released, and in this third major iteration we’ve added significant polish around the new user experience, navigation, uploading, and imports. Check out this short video that summarizes the things we think you’ll find are the cat’s pajamas:

Nestled in the Big Horn Basin of north-central Wyoming, surrounded by rolling, snow-capped mountains and the expansive blue sky is Thermopolis, a small town of about 3,200 people. If you’ve heard of Thermopolis at all, it is likely for its distinction of containing the world’s largest mineral hot springs (as its Greek name implies). What may surprise you is that Thermopolis is also the place where one of the country’s most innovative technology experiments is taking place. This experiment is not housed in a secret government lab or Apple testing facility. Rather, it is in the classrooms of Thermopolis High School. At the forefront of this effort is a 26-year-old science teacher named London Jenks who has a passion for tech and a teaching philosophy that challenges the education status quo
