Jay, how did you find us? I honestly cannot remember. Maybe it was from either a Daring Fireball or Jason Kottke link? Not that long ago, maybe a few months.
Well, we love that you're here! What I love most is that there is always something unexpected and new to me somewhere in the newsletter. Some days I’m a day ahead of you on some of the stories, but never have I gotten a newsletter that was all old news to me.
