And now a brief chat with one of our latest Sustaining Members, Harry T!
Harry, how did you hear about TMN in the first place? I’m an avid kottke.org reader. Last summer I noticed that a lot of my favorite links over there ended with “(via TMN).” I figured I’d go straight to the source and I’ve been subscribed to TMN's Headlines ever since. I still read kottke every day, of course.
That's great. We love Jason (Kottke)! Anything else you can tell us? I shared TMN with my partner a while back. Now most of the links we send each other are sourced from the Headlines. I think we tell each other “yeah, I saw that too” two or three times a day.
We doff our hat to Harry and everyone else who supports us. If you haven't already, please consider becoming a Sustaining Member or making a one-time donation. 🎩
