The Tavern is taking a break for the week as both of its authors are out. We’re happy about expanding families, and saying “boo” to the flu.

In the meantime, here are some of my favorite WordPress-powered sites that I follow and learn from:

• Tim Ferriss is back to blogging and it’s great.
• Seth Godin never stopped blogging and stays great.
• Farnam Street always expands my mind. (Three nice .blog domains in a row!)
• HeroPress gives me energy to work through the hard problems in WordPress.
• Naval is thoughtful and provocative.
• Fred Wilson is one of the most successful early-stage investors, and still takes the time to blog almost every day.
• Laughing Squid collects the weirdest and most interesting stuff on the internet.
• Krista Tippett’s On Being expands your soul.

Finally, the podcast I did with Om a few weeks ago covers some fun early internet trivia. We’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming next week!
