As a followup to my review of the book WordPress for Business Bloggers
I’m surprised that I haven’t seen mention of this from other channels yet (official or unofficial), but two days ago, SVN revision 8561 of the WordPress 2.6 branch was labled as WordPress version 2.6.1-beta1.

One of the more interesting things that I didn’t yet know about was that the Press This bookmarklet has some nifty autodetection which will make it easy to automatically embed content from sites like YouTube and Flickr.
In addition to the new features, I’d also like to point out that there has been a recent effort to improve the inline source documentation (using PHPdoc). [...]

I will continue posting to Twitter, and the most recent of my tweets will be displayed in my sidebar here. But think they should remain separate from my main blog content. I just feel like they “clutter” things up here, and the things I post on Twitter are different in scope from what I normally post in my blog.
I will likely continue to post mostly technical observations here in my blog (with the occasional side-track into non-technical areas). [...]
