Vid Luther wants to solve the WordPress hosting problem and has been working at it since WordPress was B2. He started ZippyKid, raised some funding and has since rebranded as Pressable. Vid also revealed that he and his brother should have been in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 but overslept. I was not prepared for that.
