SpaceX landed another Falcon 9 rocket last night and have already posted this 30 second video of the decent! Hopefully we’ll see a normal speed video at some time too. Slowing this one down looks awfully glitchy.

WordPress is thirteen!
You could have knocked me over with a feather today when I read Matt’s post announcing that WordPress was celebrating a birthday! It didn’t seem so long ago that we were working on b2++, hacking the multiuser bits in and doing all sorts of crazy things with it. Now I’m “typing” this on a mobile phone by swiping my finger across a virtual keyboard. Back then the closest to this that I could imagine would be some sort of SMS integration!
