Why I like kottke.org

It's probably one of the few non work sites I visit every day. It's consistently good. And, like Larry Bird, he knows how to pass, which is to say, linking to sites that might take away readers but that are nevertheless worthy contributions. The latest example is his linking to The Lone gunman. The behavior is the opposite of all those sites that link to themselves, steal other people's work by re-printing it on their site or make you click 4 links before getting you to the original content.
