The sun never sets at Automattic
Last week I joined the 9th edition of the Automattic 5K relay. We do that twice a year. As a 100% distributed company we don’t get to be together a lot. So we find ways to connect. I talked more about this here. So, twice a year we run. Separately but together. During the 24…

Then I started moving towards eating more natural food, less processed.…

I’ve been to France a few times before,…

Where it all started
A little bit over ten years ago, I was bitten by the travel bug. The first few years after moving to Canada, I basically spent my vacation time travelling to Brazil to visit my family. But after a while this started to bug me a little. I wanted to do more than that. I wanted…
