I am a founding developer of WordPress, the Open Source software used by about 12% of the web, including this site. The website says WordPress is “a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform” but more importantly WordPress is a part of who I am. Like eating, breathing, music, I can’t not work on WordPress. The project touches a lot of people, something I’ve recently begun to appreciate. I consider myself very lucky to be able to work on something I love so much. [From About Matt Mullenweg] 

 We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served — as shareholders and in all other ways — by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains.” “You can make money without doing evil.” “Don’t be evil” is the informal corporate motto (or slogan) of Google. While many companies have ethical codes to govern their conduct, Google claims to have made “Don’t Be Evil” a central pillar of their identity, and part of their self-proclaimed core values.

Matt and the Google founders read The Cathedral and the Bazaar by Eric Steven Raymond and were saved by The General Public License (GPL) theology. 

“Managing an open-source community and a profitable startup at the same time has not been an easy task, but I believe that the principle of open source is an important one, and that more companies should think about what they are giving back to the web and information technology community.” [From the Matt Mullenweg interview with “This is Us!”

Matt, you aren’t giving back anything with all that bandwidth you give away: You and you’re bloggers are driving the Earth out of its harmonic mind. The Earth, just like humans, has an energetic body with a meridian system and potent points. By tapping and resonating these potent points harmonically, we can “call” in supportive, nourishing energies from deep within the earth.

Earth Harmonics is the practice of bringing the natural environment into balance through the use of Earth Energetic supportive devices, such as the Earth Harmonizer. This device taps into the Earth’s latent reservoirs of healing energies by enriching the Earth’s Energetic Grid system with a pattern and vibration that resonates in harmony with greater Universal healing energies.

But when we blog all day long and Google Uses More Power than Salt Lake City the powerful electromagnetic frequencies are wreaking harmonic havoc on the Earth. [10] 

• The TELECOM industry suffered catastrophic losses in 2003. JP Morgan Chase, the biggest loser with 46 trillion of derivative exposure, underwrote WorldCom and the Telecom industry and then in 2005 settled with WorldCom investors for an additional 4 billion.

• An evaluation of the cell phone industry and Motorola’s business plan concluded that the company “should probably not expect to raise venture capital for this venture” rather than spend $100 million (in 1983 dollars) to develop a $3,995 device that weighed 2.5 lbs to be marketed to customers in the Chicago and Baltimore/Washington, D.C. service area.

• Cell phones and the Net are used primarily to give the “ignorant masses” an opportunity to blog and access Facebook, Twitter, the Weather Channel, Google Maps and the music service Pandora (as well as apps, apps and more apps).
