His speech at Moscow State University was a long time ago, but when I read it last week, I was blown away. It’s awesome!
Yesterday, Matt posted about the appearance of WordPress on the WordPress development blog. It appears in everyone’s Dashboard, so bet there are tons of people looking at it now. I am actually a subscriber to Popular Science, and I saw the mention to WordPress about a month ago, when the magazine was released. I wonder why Matt doesn’t subscribe anymore? Perhaps he spends too much time on WordPress now 
Awesome stuff. This computer is only a little larger than a personal computer, but it contains 96 Transmeta Efficeon processors, each running at 1.2 GHz. Linux powers 96-node personal cluster

One nice feature of WordPress is that it lists Incoming Links in the Dashboard. From there I visited some of the sites linking to me.

They’ve added a page listing web hosts for WordPress. Maybe I can get Sizzly Hosting to add a WordPress section and then they can get added to the page.
Last night my computer was automatically restarted by Windows Update after installing an update that required a reboot. This seems rather risky to me, unless the security update was so urgent that a hacker could immediate compromise your system. To me, this seems like the only case in which Windows should automatically restart your computer. A quick Google search brought me this page, which describes how to prevent Windows from doing this.
