Kottke.org turns 28

Jason Kottke:

28 years of kottke.org, as of today. Older than Google. Older than The Matrix. Older than Christopher Nolan’s feature film career. Older than Elle Fanning. Older than Kurt Cobain when he died. 47,300 posts since March 14, 1998. It might outlast American democracy.

KDO is one of a small handful of “old school” sites that inspired (and inspires) JAG’s Workshop. Twenty-eight years represents a remarkable achievement of both consistency and dedication. I’m in awe of how prolific Kottke (and team) continue to be. Congratulations to everyone at KDO.

(I was hoping I could say “I started blogging before Kottke,” but the earliest entry of my long-defunct personal blog (November 6, 2000) would put me, generously, at 25 years—with the massive caveat that I wrote for it sporadically at best, and didn’t write for it at all for some 6-plus years.)
