Webstandards.to evening with Matt Mullenweg

Last night I ventured into Toronto to the Queen Mother to meet up with Matt Mullenweg (founder of WordPress) and the Webstandards.to group. Joe Clark had arranged the evening of great Thai food and conversation. I am terrible with names so I am not going to try and name all the folks that were there but it was a pleasure meeting them all.
The conversation was of the typical standards geek kind – conferences, city’s visited, cool sites, etc. Matt’s new Blackberry was the focus of much attention as was everyone else’s cell phones. I hadn’t seen, only heard of, the new Google Maps implementation on the Blackberry. That is very cool.
Matt hinted at something being announced between WordPress and Textpattern (what I use on this blog) today and something has appeared. Looks like WordPress and Textpattern have merged. Wordpattern? Is this an April fools joke? Hrm.
Overall a very cool night with really good company. Glad I made the drive in…
