WordPress 2.1 Rap

36 Replies

So, I got a little bit of free time and decided to make a quick song dedicated to the new version of WordPress. Colin had the brilliant idea of using Nelly’s song “Air Force Ones’. So, I did this a number of weeks ago thinking I’d have time to make a video. I don’t. So, here’s a zip file with my latest installment of embarrassment…

Lyrics

(To the song: “Air Force Ones” by Nelly)

I said give me WordPress
’cause I need WordPress
So I could get upgradin’ version 2.1
Upgradin’ to version 2.1

I liked the old one, stable and quickest that they could make it
But now with AJAX, tabs, and so much new stuff I could rake it
You can export so just in your chair and shake it
Ella is the new shit, there aint no way to fake it

You throw in privacy options and you and you never get a ping
Sittin on auto save means I’ll never a lose a thing
The brand new login screen is so fresh and so clean
Uploading is so simple we should be paying some green
But Matt would never allow automattic it, aint mean
But if he did I would because you know I’m so keen

You think it slow man
Domas cleaned a ton man
Don’t need a new spam plugin they’ve got one man
just go download the zip file and test it out some man
I promise and swear that it’ll disappoint you none man

I said give me WordPress
cause I need WordPress
So I could get upgradin version 2.1
Upgrading to version 2.1

Ready for a bit of topical, humorous trivia? Well line the floors with bubble wrap, I’m about to drop some knowledge:

15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine’s Day.

It’s so compelling it has to be true.

Community Next Wrap-Up

My favorite question asked on Tuesday was ‘so what did you do this weekend?’ because naturally my non-nonchalant response was ‘put on a 350-plus-person conference’. If you don’t know, Noah Kagan had planned a terrific conference and I had the pleasure of helping out along the way. If you want to know what everyone thought about it then go check out all the attention and pictures at the Community Next site. But, if you want the behind-the-scenes details, read on…

What does love really mean?

Again, it’s that time of the year. Nothing says love better than a bitter cold month of snow and fog. So, February aside, what does love mean to you? I’ve been asked the question once or twice before and I’ve taken a new approach. Here are some of my thoughts on what love really means…

Whoops, it’s already February. I have no idea how time has flown this fast but it has. As I get older the more I understand the phrase “Time is relevant”. The more time I’ve experienced, the less it takes to pass in the future.

Valentine’s Day Cometh

It seems to be that time again: Valentine’s Day. The holiday most of us are forced to celebrate unwillingly. Why don’t we feel as compelled, if not more, to celebrate the useful holidays like Arbor Day? (Thanks, R).
