While New Yorkers have been consumed by the stock market meltdown, a tiny little pet store quietly opened four days ago at 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street in the West Village of New York City. There are no puppies or kittens in the windows here. So who's the "owner" of the Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill at 89 West 7th Avenue? Banksy.

Matt Mullenweg spent some time demonstrating the upcoming 2.7 release of Wordpress. I've embedded the video below. Wordpress 2.7 will be available in November. Matt begins by explaining that eventually everything in Wordpress will have an associated API for extending the service. The new interface looks awesome. The posting functionality of Wordpress is one of the things I wish Drupal had. I find that Drupal can be extended further than Wordpress but the posting usability is WAY better in Wordpress than Drupal. The 2.7 admin interface appears to be even more usable than the current version. - Stijn
