...is a weblog about the liberal arts 2.0 edited by Jason Kottke since March 1998 (archives). You can read about me and kottke.org here. If you've got questions, concerns, or interesting links, send them along.
Fascinating stuff: the Washington Post hired a world-famous violinist to play for spare change outside a D.C. Metro station to see if anyone would notice and how much he'd make. "In a banal setting at an inconvenient time, would beauty transcend?" (thx, karan)
Update: A NYC subway musician's take on the article: "The thing is Joshua Bell is a great violinist but he doesn't know how to busk." (thx, greg)
The best way to get a sense of what kottke.org is all about is to head to the front page or check out some random entries from the archives.
