Oh, and Jason, speaking about staying "out of the web", closes with a sentence that I think I'll quote often from now on: You can take the boy out of the web and put him in a sheep pasture, but you can't take the web out of the boy.
Joe, I don't think Jason was seriously ungrateful, I took his comments as tongue in cheek.

Time passed… Kottke pieced together (after some research) the final questions and then managed to get the actual audio byte and posted it to his website.

 Kottke goes full time | MetaFilter
Kottke's taking a large personal risk, turning down ads that he could doubtless make money off of, and just hoping that his work is appreciated enough that people will be willing to chip in for more of it (but if you don't chip in, that's okay too).
Kottke is mostly links to the same stuff that everyone else is linking to on the internet, with the occasional extended commentary that in my opinion no better written or thought provoking than many other blogger's commentary out there.
I mean, no trees are dying because Jason Kottke is blogging, whereas I have several of your beloved non-fiction tomes that were probably a significant portion of the Amazonian rainforest.

 The Media Drop: Jason Kottke's blogging concerns
Kottke had pointed out details he was given about Ken Jennings' eventual demise on the television game show "Jeopardy," and much speculation took place on blogs and in the public eye that he would lose sometime this year.
I'm actually starting to wonder if Jason Kottke is being made an example of by Sony at this point.
I'm sure their ratings were ridiculous, frankly (I have the web traffic to prove, at least, that the interest was HUGE), and it's not as if the ratings went down one day after he lost (if they did) because someone blurted out the news in advance of it happening.

In case you’ve missed it, Sony is trying to take down long-time blogger, Jason Kottke, because he posted a tiny audio sample of a question from Jeopardy.
Clearly, they are upset about the fact that Kottke reported earlier this year on when the record-setting Ken Jennings would lose (Kottke got a tip from someone in the audience who was there).
Kottke putting up the clip or the transcript is like him telling a Jeopardy story at a cocktail party.

 angiemckaig.com - on making money online
Posted by: Stuart on February 23, 2005 10:32 AM As you said Angie, Jason is a well enough brand to get away with this for a while, perhaps two or three years tops.
My original assumption was it will only work because this is done by THE Jason Kottke, and bloggers are an incestuous bunch with most falling over themselves to kiss his ass and call it ice cream...
Looking at "Kottke Pro" you could argue that this is the other way around, that he's not asking for money up front, but that you're paying him restrospectively.

Jason Kottke builds in new kinds of Micro-Content.
Jason Kottke has shown how reviews, quotes, posts and comments can all live peaceably together - in one 'list' (as he calls it.) It's all so minimal and sparse that it's hard to see the difference between each kind of content - but kids today - they seem to like that minimal look.
