I was on Kottke.org and as I prepared to launch this blog and knew I was going to be sourcing from the man, I wanted to see what he looked like. In all the years I've read and admired him, I've never stalked him online. Or anyone else. I don't even look at people's code. I just want to see what they want me to see.
So I checked him out and, this is where it gets funny because I had been online for some time in total silence and my girlfriend was reading a book in bed. Out of nowhere -and perhaps loudly as we had spent and hour or so in silence- I said "Wow Jason Kottke is hot".
This scared my girlfriend half to death as she was deep her book. She was clearly in no mood to verify my findings even though I think she would have if I was commenting on a female.
At any rate and for whatever reason, this has become my first post.
