Comment from Matt Mullenweg in Web Designer Magazine
In issue 164 of Web Designer Magazine there is a feature article on WordPress plug-ins, "Electrify Your Blog: The Top 20 WordPress Plug-ins for the Next-gen Blogger". I will get to the plug-in list in a moment. The article has an aside on page 34 titled, "Creator Comment". Creator being Matt. You can click the image to see a readable version of Matt's comments. I have been reading Web Developer and .Net magazines for quit some time now and it is amazing how WordPress is becoming so intertwined with web development and design in these magazines. You will find articles on WordPress directly, the author of an article will list his WordPress blog as their main website even feature portfolios including gorgeous WordPress sites. This alone doesn't surprise me, the speed at which WordPress has overtaken the conversation in these magazines committed to website design and development has.
The plug-ins in order as they appear in the article are listed below with links to each:

It’s very surprising and nice to hear about this. I just wonder who wrote my name this way? I certainly didn’t 
@Nicolas – OK. I did it. 
I misspelled it from the article in Web Designer. They had it correctly spelled but with Christmas and all I must have thought it was spelled like the more famous Saint. Corrected.
THANK YOU KERRY!!! I really appreciate the mention for wordpress plugins…The next version of mp3 player plugin for wordpress will have the option of 8 players that you can choose from and one of which a co-worker and I developed ourselves. Be on the look out v1.2.5
