kottke.org posts about Ainsley Drew

Ainsley, etc.

A quick but big-time thanks to Ainsley Drew for helping me out here for the past couple of weeks. Again, you can find Ainsley at Jerk Ethic personally and Ministry of Imagery professionally.

Me? I’m still operating at half speed due to the new little one. But hopefully things won’t be too sporadic around here for too much longer.


Yo, Ainsley’s back

As you may have already noticed, Ainsley Drew is back and will be helping me out here for the next couple of weeks on a part time editorial basis as my wife and I deal with our new houseguest. (I’ll be posting stuff as well…just at odd hours.) Welcome, Ainsley!


Like the Friday the 13th franchise

Jason’s coming back. I can’t thank him enough for locking me in this tenement with the bag of Cheetohs and the six pack of Mountain Dew, telling me to, “Link, monkey! Link!” I hope he enjoyed his time in Atlantic City.

I kid. Thanks, Jason, for giving me this opportunity, and thank you, kottke readers, for not abandoning the site in his absence.

For those curious about the other man behind a hockey mask, here are 13 Questions with an actor who played stab-happy Jason Voorhees. Thanks for bleeding, I mean reading.

Update by jkottke: Thanks for holding down the fort so ably, Ainsley. Your puntastic post titles and fondness for marine life will be missed. If you require writing services in the future, check out her small copywriting concern, Ministry of Imagery.


Thanks, Jason

Thanks for the introduction, Jason. It’s likely I’m not going to be able to fill your shoes with anything but pools of Love’s Baby Soft scented sweat, but I appreciate the opportunity. This is like rope climbing in junior high PE, in a good way.

These days, kids can choose between rope climbing and Dance Dance Revolution. Where’s the humiliation in that?


Guest editor: Ainsley Drew

I’ll be putting in overtime on some other projects for the next week, so I’ve arranged for Ms. Ainsley Drew to edit the site while I’m away. You may know Ainsley from her entertaining Twitter account โ€” she’s AinsleyofAttack, or her Jerk Ethic blog. She is also a partner in a two-person copywriting company called Ministry of Imagery and the assistant editor at The Rumpus, where she’s interviewed Mary Roach, Andrew W.K., and some schlub named Jason Kottke and failed to interview Susannah Breslin.

Welcome, Ainsley!
