From my experience, here is how time is spent when writing a book about WordPress plugins: Seriously, the brainstorm part is ridiculously important.

Disclaimer: This one is more awesome than a Nintendo Sixty-FOOOOOOOOOOUR for Christmas. You will want to buy it. You will buy it. The tshirt itself is pretty regular: black, a not too fancy "Let Your Dark Side Out" slogan across the chest. Nothing to scream for. But then you sort of flip the shirt up […][...] → Read more
