What can I expect to receive from Jason?
Each day on kottke.org, I attempt to find the interesting in everything. Part of that is casting a wide net and looking for connections between seemingly unrelated things. I hope that—for instance—a sports freak can appreciate something about how the human brain works, a book editor is enticed to read about the history of the American automobile industry, or a startup CEO can find business lessons in fashion. In that vein, I’ll be sending you things that you didn’t know you wanted to see until you saw them.

"Maps do not need a connection to the thing they represent. They can stand apart from their functionality. We're free to appreciate them on purely aesthetic terms."
