Checklists: The WordCamp Portland Video

Video from my talk at WordCamp Portland is now live on WordPress.tv!

The title of the talk is “Checklists: A Path to Mistake-Free Development and Publishing”. But, as my friend Justin tweeted, it wasn’t really about checklists, so much as about keeping your promises.

Fantastic presentation happening right now from @mattepp on checklists. Not really about checklists, it's about keeping your promise. #wcpdx

Check out the video, and if you enjoy it, please pass it on and let me know what you think!

They didn’t have the science to support that claim, and I now know that when it comes to marijuana neither of those things are true. It doesn’t have a high potential for abuse, and there are very legitimate medical applications. In fact, sometimes marijuana is the only thing that works.

Yes.
