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! https://kottke.org/23/03/kottke-is-25-years-old-today

@todbot my college apartment had the same paneling when I started reading your site

Happy birthday kottke.org. 25 years is a huge accomplishment. Well done.

Congratulations! Forgot you were also behind 0sil8, too. Keep up the great work.

I have two (technically, three) questions, Jason:

• do you still have that plaid shirt? Were there "grunge-y" holes in the knees of those jeans?

• what was the dream you had that you wrote about on July 29, 1998?

Again, Happy Birthday!

Congratulations.
I don’t remember when I first stumbled upon it, but have enjoyed the ride. Bought the t-shirt too! Looking forward to the next 25.
