Well, I was not expecting Tetris to be the next video game to be turned into an edgy drama (an 80s Cold War techno-thriller, no less), but here we are. The trailer looks....good? kottke.org/23/02/theyre-m…

In 1955, the Ford Motor Company hired poet Marianne Moore to name their revolutionary new car. She suggested names like "Utopian Turtletop" and "The Intelligent Whale". Ford ended up going with their own name: The Edsel. kottke.org/23/02/ford-mot…

Last call for Kottke Hypertext Tees. If you want one of these fabulous shirts, you've got another ~24 hours to order one before they're gone. If you've ordered already, thank you! They've proven surprisingly popular. kottke.org/23/02/last-cal…

I was recently on John Gruber's The Talk Show podcast! Our time together was pretty limited, but we still managed to talk about the history of blogging, my recent sabbatical, Stellar, the 25th anniversary of the site, and more. Give it a listen! kottke.org/23/03/kottke-2…

Unbelievably, kottke[dot]org turns 25 years old today – the site predates Google! "That's more than half of my life, spanning four decades and ~40,000 posts, almost cartoonishly long for a medium optimized for impermanence." Thx for reading! kottke.org/23/03/kottke-i…

As you might have noticed, this acct is no longer active. Twitter has shut off API access to the app I've used since 2008 to post links here. Until a change in ownership (or in the owner's stability & political views), there will be no more kottke[dot]org content posted here.
