The plugin was inspired by Michelle's need to display randomized Speed Networking conversation cards.They demonstrate how it works, discuss potential eCommerce uses, and share experiences using AI tools like Claude to speed up development. The episode also highlights collaboration, creativity, and fun within the WordPress community.Top Takeaways:Image Roulette Plugin: Michelle's accessibility challenge inspired Mark to create a plugin that randomizes images while preserving alt text and captions. Within hours, he developed a fully functional prototype that later became a public WordPress plugin.Accessibility at the Core: The plugin automatically uses each image's existing media library fields (alt text, title, caption), ensuring accessibility is built-in rather than an afterthought — aligning with WordPress's broader emphasis on inclusive design.Simplicity and Versatility: Image Roulette works via both a Gutenberg block and a shortcode, making it compatible with different site builders.

Shopify e WordPress: due piattaforme che per anni sono sembrate concorrenti. Una nata per raccontare, l'altra per vendere. Eppure oggi le cose cambiano. Con il nuovo plugin ufficiale di Shopify per WordPress, i due mondi possono finalmente collaborare: il contenuto resta nel suo ambiente naturale, e il checkout — veloce, sicuro e performante — è gestito da Shopify. In questa puntata rifletto su:cosa fa realmente il nuovo plugin e come funziona dentro WordPress,perché Shopify ha deciso di aprire un'integrazione diretta con il CMS più usato al mondo,e come questo può cambiare la strategia di chi lavora con siti ricchi di contenuti o brand che puntano sullo storytelling.Parliamo anche di due scenari concreti:Chi parte da WordPress e vuole aggiungere la vendita con Shopify, separando gli aspetti tecnici e legali.Chi parte da Shopify e vuole espandere la propria presenza editoriale su WordPress, integrando i prodotti negli articoli.Non è solo un plugin: è un segnale. Il confine tra contenuto e commercio si sta assottigliando — e questa potrebbe essere la mossa che semplifica tutto.

Will we the church be captivated, accelerated, mission empowered by AI? Or will we sit on the outside watching?" - Pat Gelsinger"Next-generation entrepreneurs—they're not religious, but they're spiritual.

Thanks to his invention of Europe's first typographic printing method, and his pioneering work on the first printed Bible, the fifteenth-century German inventor Johannes Gutenberg has a fame and reputation that continues to this day. In 1997, Time magazine credited him with the most important innovation of the past one thousand years. However, due to scant and vague documentation, Gutenberg's actual life and career have been clouded in myth and speculation. In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar Eric Marshall White about his new book, Johannes Gutenberg: A Biography in Books, which seeks to correct the record by analyzing Gutenberg and the books that remain his lasting monument. PLUS HOL pays tribute to Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov's beautifully told tale of a dark and ugly obsession (and #14 on the list of the Greatest Books of All Time), by repeating excerpts from three previous interviews, in which Jenny Minton Quigley, Jim Shepard, and Joshua Ferris talk about Nabokov and his highly controversial novel.

On this episode of the Build the Church Podcast, Josh Roberie unpacks one of the biggest questions facing pastors today: Should churches embrace generative AI—or avoid it altogether?From the Roman roads and Gutenberg's printing press to the rise of the internet, Josh shows how technology has always shaped the way the gospel spreads. He explains what generative AI actually is, how pastors can use it for sermon prep, creative brainstorming, and content creation, and the ethical pitfalls to avoid—like privacy, bias, and over-reliance on machines.You'll walk away with practical guardrails, inspiring examples, and a clear conclusion: AI isn't a magic wand, but it can be a powerful kingdom tool when stewarded wisely.Whether you're skeptical or curious, this episode will help you think through AI's role in your ministry and how to harness it without losing your voice or authenticity.Support the show
Whenever you click print on your laptop or PC, the printer makes a noise to let you know it is in fact on and working, but almost immediately, the paper you intended to print is completed within just a couple of seconds per copy. It's something we take for granted. As a teacher, we print all the time, and depending on what mood our copier is in, we can either print 150 copies in a matter of minutes, or after the dreaded red light error message, it could take all day, but I will tell you this, regardless of the frustrations of 21st century printing, it far exceeds the speed of printing just a few centuries before. And that leads me to introduce to you today's Missing Chapter Profile, Johannes Gutenberg. You might need your French Press for today's episode. Welcome to the Missing Chapter, everyone, let's get started.Go to The Missing Chapter Podcast website for more information, previous episodes, and professional development opportunities!
Scott Brown and Anthony King are the Tony-nominated writers behind Beetlejuice the Musical. Together they adapted Tim Burton's cult classic into a Broadway hit that blends grief, special effects, and lots of laughs. I am an unabashedly huge fan of Beetlejuice the Musical, which first opened on Broadway in April 2019, closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic, returned for a second run in April 2022, and wrapped again in January 2023. Now the show is set for its third Broadway engagement at the Palace Theatre, running October 8, 2025 through January 3, 2026, and I cannot wait because I have really missed this show.In this conversation, Scott and Anthony share how they built the show's unique tone, why fourth-wall breaking was the key to unlocking Beetlejuice onstage, and how endless iteration in workshops and previews sharpened the comedy and emotional beats. They also discuss the responsibility of protecting and adapting iconic properties.Here are Scott Brown and Anthony King.Show NotesStage & Film Projects MentionedBeetlejuice the MusicalBeetlejuice Jr.Gutenberg the MusicalBeetlejuiceLost Boys (musical in development)Death Becomes Her (musical adaptation referenced)Hamilton (filmed stage production mentioned as preservation model)Stranger Things stage productionMovies & Shows ReferencedDeadpool (comparison for Beetlejuice's tone)Rick and MortySouth ParkPeople MentionedTim Burton (original film director)Michael McDowell (original Beetlejuice screenwriter)Eddie Perfect (songwriter, performing Beetlejuice in Australia)Alex Brightman (actor, Beetlejuice on Broadway)Follow Scott Brown at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9scott9Website: https://www.scottbrownwritesthings.com/IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4447552/Follow Anthony King at:IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1511524/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theanthonyking/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theanthonyking/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-king-4738a594/

We have books that have changed the world. We can name many others, but the fact is, books have been extant in human society for many years. When people decided to write, and they have been for generations—they would find any surface they could write on. In India, the chosen surface was palm leaves. Painstakingly, they would copy things onto these palm leaves using a stylus; they'd have to expose it to the sun so you get that darkened area. Isn't that beautiful handwriting? And how long would it take you to copy the Bhagavad Gita by hand? Audience: A year! That would take a while to generate enough to try to win the marathon for book distribution. So other people realized, as technology advanced, that books could be printed. The first thing was the Gutenberg Press. That's not it. There was a Gutenberg Press. A man named Gutenberg invented it to spread the Bible. You can trace Christianity and see how it expanded through the distribution of the printed book. Then came other printing presses. This one is a replica. It's a picture of the kind of printing press that Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur brought to Calcutta and kept running 24/7, along with two others. They had them lined up near the altar because he kept them near the altar to show that they were also Deities. Anybody here from Ohio? One, two. You know where these printing presses came from? Ohio is a good export state. These printing presses came from Ohio. He shipped them all the way to India. And Prabhupada had expressed to us, when he started his mission, that he was following the instruction of his spiritual master, whom he asked several times for direction about what kind of service he would like him to do. I'm wearing a wristband right now. It says, "If you ever get money, print books." Who said that? Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur. And where did he say it to our founder-acharya? At Radha Kund! At that sacred place of Radha Kund, our Prabhupada had asked Srila Bhakti Siddhanta, "What can I do?" And Srila Bhakti Siddhanta said that, "I've got this big temple, the Bhagbazar marble temple, and I wish now that I could take the marble from that temple, sell it, and print some books." Then he said, "If you ever get money, print books." Prabhupada said, "I took this from his mouth that he was very fond of books." So when he began his campaign, he extended that same mood to all of us, and it remains. Now, I'm going to teach you a few points that have come by Krishna's mercy to the minds and hearts of devotees who have been distributing books for many years that will save you a lot of time and grief. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality

Today, as we continue through We Should Get Out More, we're talking tech, but not just the usual doom-scroll warnings. John sits down with Pat Gelsinger, a tech mogul and lifelong follower of Jesus, to talk about how faith and technology don't have to live in separate worlds. In fact, Pat argues this moment in history is a “Gutenberg moment”: a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the Church to use technology to spread goodness, beauty, and truth. So instead of running from it, what if we stepped into it, with wisdom and courage?Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

When you enter the great hall of the Thomas Jefferson building at the Library of Congress in Washington, the first exhibit you will be facing is their Gutenberg Bible. And it is one of the finest Gutenberg bibles around, one of only three surviving pristine copies on vellum. This was the kind of bible that was so expensive to produce, it bankrupted Gutenberg. When the Library of Congress bought it in 1930, they paid $375,000, roughly $7.5m in today's money. But this is not the most expensive piece in the library's collection. That would a work by two Germans, Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann. And it is not even a book, but a map. Not a small map, it is 2.3m or 91 inches wide and 1.3m or 50 inches tall. And this map, printed in 1507 claimed to be:A DESCRIPTION OF THE WHOLE WORLD ON BOTHA GLOBE AND A FLAT SURFACE WITH THE INSERTIONOF THOSE LANDS UNKNOWN TO PTOLEMYDISCOVERED BY RECENT MENAnd the authors wrote that the three continents known since antiquity, Europe, Africa and Asis, quote "have in fact now been more widely explored, and a fourth part has been discovered by Amerigo Vespucci (as will be heard in what follows). Since both Asia and Africa received their names from women, I do not see why anyone should rightly prevent this [new part] from being called Amerigen—the land of Amerigo, as it were—or America, after its discoverer, Americus, a man of perceptive character." End quote. This fourth part, they said was “surrounded on all sides by the ocean”. And indeed, in the left lower corner we find a fourth continent, a thin, stretched thing, with few place names and a western shore that hints at the Peruvian bulge, unmistakably, South America and then to north of it a very indistinguishable blob of land.This map, proudly displayed as America's Birth Certificate, is full of the most intriguing mysteries. How did Waldseemüller and Ringmann know that the Americas had a western shore, when it was only in 1513, 6 years later, that a European first glanced the Pacific? How did the name America stick though Amerigo Vespucci had neverled an expedition, not even commanded a ship? But most of all, why was this first map of America drawn not by a Spanish or Portuguese navigator, but by two Germans in the employ of the duke of Lorraine, working in St. Die, which is as far away from the sea as one can get in Western Europe. And then, more generally, what did the Germans have to do with the discoveries, the maps and globes that told the world about them? That is what we will explore in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram:
Investigative journalist James Corbett joins the program to explore one of the most urgent and profound questions of our time: What does it mean to be human in the age of AI and transhumanism?We examine historical turning points—like the invention of the Gutenberg press, which revolutionized access to knowledge but was fiercely suppressed by those in power. We also draw powerful parallels to today's digital age, where the internet once promised liberation but is now increasingly policed and censored. From the war on free expression to the rise of artificial intelligence and bio-digital convergence, we discuss the threats—and opportunities—that lie ahead. Can we maintain our sovereignty of thought, mind, and soul in an era of accelerating technological control?Purchase his book or follow James Corbett @ https://CorbettReport.com

In 1710, the British Parliament passed a piece of legislation entitled An Act for the Encouragement of Learning. It became known as the Statute of Anne, and it was the world's first copyright law. Copyright protects and regulates a piece of work - whether that's a book, a painting, a piece of music or a software programme. It emerged as a way of balancing the interests of authors, artists, publishers, and the public in the context of evolving technologies and the rise of mechanical reproduction. Writers and artists such as Alexander Pope, William Hogarth and Charles Dickens became involved in heated debates about ownership and originality that continue to this day - especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence.
