...I just gotta get Kottke to link to Foofaraw somehow... So if you're the magical person who got this site in front of Jason last week, this is directed at you. Go tell him about Foofaraw, a zine of surreal storytelling and worldly observations, which publishes some of the best short stories, novellas, wacky columns, webcomics, and soon, a giant anthology!

It's inspired by the likes of Clarkesworld, Uncanny, and McSweeney's, but also the New Yorker, with our regular columnists, weekly media guide, and more.

We could use a couple more paid subscribers over there as we raise the rates

Kottke

Umm… so this happened… the godfather of linkblogging somehow came across this silly little site and linked to it… bringing over 4,000+ visitors…

I don’t ever go into the Ghost dashboard, so I had no idea until just now as I was getting ready to send out the first Little Letter of Nonsense this year (late as usual…)

My name is Brie and I'm really excited to be joining The Independent Variable! Given my interests, I'll be sharing links about infosec, leadership, web development and emoji. I also really enjoy testing and recommending useful and interesting games, tools and utilities including (Android and iOS) apps especially when they're open source!
