WooThemes has just released the design (by Tim van Damme) which I used to promote & pre-sell my book, Rockstar Business. Having sold more than a 1000 copies already, I'd argue that the design served my needs pretty well. :)

Honeymoon Photography
So I just finally managed to edit some photos from our honeymoon to Greece, Spain & Portugal in October. You can view a couple of snaps on my Flickr profile.

1% Teaser
A little teaser for a new project launching next week, as a result of a collaboration between Radiiate & Rockstar Foundation. (You can also see more teasers here.)
Rockstar Foundation V2: Upcoming
I know I've been really quiet with regards to the things we're working on at the Foundation, but it is really a result of being a terribly busy patch of my life (which doesn't look likely to stop before end-of-year). That said, I'm excited as ever about the Foundation and can't wait to grow it - with Jeanne's help - next year!
Back on WordPress
The Tumblr experiment is over & I'm officially back on WordPress. Heck, I couldn't be the co-founder of one of the largest WordPress theming companies online & not take advantage of all the cool stuff we've been building lately...
This is my new setup:
- WordPress (exported my data via this tool, which WooThemes will probably look to improve soon);
- An unmodified version of the magnificent Canvas (soon to be replaced with a custom-designed child theme);
- Support for the WooTumblog plugin, which is integrated with Canvas; and
- Mobile publishing via our new iPhone application, Express.
Why did I do this now? Well, our WordPress work in the last couple of months evolved and progressed to such an extent that most of the benefits of initially experimenting with Tumblr finally evaporated (in the sense that I could get the same features on WordPress and own my own data). So moving back to WordPress and thoroughly giving our own work a kick of the tires, seemed like a logical and much more flexible choice.
You can thus take this move as a signal of my and our intent in the microblogging space and you should expect WooThemes to cause a few ripples in this regard in the next couple of months.
Watch this space.
