Superhero- Bre Pettis

January 30, 2007 · Comments

Bre Pettis is a Superhero. Now, I know this innately, the way I know when I’m hungry. But I didn’t really have the best way to describe WHY until my wife, Katrina, told me.

“Bre is cool because he always encourages participation.”

The backstory is this: last night (way too late), Bre and I were talking about this and that. I mentioned his recent circuit bending episode, where he hacks a Speak n Spell. I basically was saying that it’s cool people can find things that might interest them, LIKE the circuit bending episode.

His FIRST response right back: I’ll send one to you in the mail so you can hack it yourself.

Can you imagine? The guy is a true catalyst and superhero. Oh, and a side note: Tim O’Reilly, you really get your money’s worth out of Bre. Thanks for making such a cool project happen through your organization. Keep supporting Senor Pettis.

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • Bre is the quintissential videoblogger, in my opinion. The stuff he does is consistently so damn good and so damn inventive. He really doesn't get enough credit for the stuff he does. Glad to see you call him out, Chris. I'm going to start a series on my blog of shows that we should all be watching. Just did one on Josh Shipp from heyjosh.tv. Bre is well-known in the videoblogging community, of course, but this is a guy who *needs* a wider audience because the stuff is just so damn good.
