While I was looking for my birth certificate so I could get my driver’s license renewed I found my letter from the FTC that contained by ham radio call sign, KC0WZD. I got my license so I would have something I could do with my grandfather but unfortunately he passed away before we could talk to each other via the ham radio. Someday I think it would be fun to get a radio and play around with it.

Lack of Contextual Help
I don’t like the fact that very few developers are using contextual help menus in their themes and plugins. While I knew this before it struck me as odd that plugins put out by Automattic aren’t using contextual help menus either.
- IntenseDebate
JetpackJetPack 1.2 added contextual help, Yay- Akismet
- Polldaddy
- Sharedaddy
Now I know that all of these plugins have fantastic documentation elsewhere I am just curious why none of them have any contextual help menus. I would really like to see help menus in every single theme and plugin and maybe if Automattic did it than more developers would as well.
Note: Twenty Eleven has a contextual help menu on its options screen (which I like).
