One blog post is worth a thousand portfolio pieces. – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report
"Just about everyone I know and work with I first met online. And, although well-done portfolio services have their place, neither I nor anyone at Happy Cog has ever hired someone purely (or even largely) on the basis of their portfolio.

Revisiting Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies, and Permalinks – Monday By Noon
"I’ve got an entire philosophy behind how I dictate what should be a Custom Post Type, a Custom Taxonomy, or a Pod, but we’ll leave that for another day.
