Farewell, Six Apart.

Instead of taking days to write the perfect post about the Six Apart news (in case you don't know, Six Apart is now SAY Media), I wanted to simply  jot down some of my thoughts while the news is still, well, news. I know a lot of folks have questions and I don't have all the answers right now. However, I think that just a couple points are worth mentioning.

Despite being "just" a "jot[ting] down of some of [her] thoughts", Mena's post about the end of the current chapter in Six Apart, and the beginning of SAY Media, is wonderful, and exactly captures my feelings, as well.

Faveplayer

Inspired by Mark's choonplayer (both creatively & visually), I wrote a simple app to show off my favorite posts on TypePad (or yours, or anyone's). The player is on github, if you'd like to check it out; it's a nice simple demonstration of how to use TypePad's favorites API.

Birthdays

October is a month of birthdays at Six Apart: Vox is celebrating two years; TypePad is celebrating five years; and Movable Type is celebrating seven years (!).

And, of course, Penelope is celebrating her first birthday!

Roots

We launched a new sixapart.com a couple of days ago, and I'm so proud to work with the team that built and implemented such a beautiful and useful site!

Watch me look stiff and angry!

Tonight we were on Headline News (live!) talking about TypePad. No, I don't know why I look so mean. I thought I was smiling a slight smile that made me look confident and relaxed, but instead I look like I'm really, really mad. Ah well--it was a neat experience, albeit frightening, and I think overall it came off really well.
