Point Nine (P9) is an early-stage venture capital firm I've been following for a while. Almost exactly two years to be precise. I was in Dublin for SaaStock 2018, in, well, 2018, and I met one of their partners, Louis Coppey. It's entirely possible (indeed likely) that he doesn't remember me, but our brief conversation… Continue reading Joining the P9 Family Summit tomorrow
I won't be watching Attenborough's A Life On Our Planet any time soon. Not because I disagree with it or it's premise. Neither is it because I dislike David Attenborough — on the contrary, I love him and what he stands for. But I don't need to watch it.

But not knowing him personally at all he was in… Continue reading My Conversation with Rand Fishkin on the Climate Emergency

People invariably know, deep down, two things: A sucky CV doesn't get you interviews Your CV probably sucks… Continue reading Free CV Template for 2019: The one-page resumé template that (still) doesn’t suck.
Every time I see a burrito -- IRL or on TV -- Alex comes to mind. And I hope he always will. His passion for burritos was eclipsed only by WordPress. Alex has battled cancer for about three years -- very bravely -- and yesterday his family announced that he passed away peacefully, at home.… Continue reading Farewell Alex
Just over four years ago I was lucky enough to get a gig at Automattic, a company I had long admired. The last four years have been a rollercoaster of travel, learning, and working with world-class people and entrepreneurs as I worked to improve and grow Jetpack.
