Interesting Thing of the Day

"It goes without saying that the word interesting is quite subjective. So by interesting I really mean interesting to me. Your mileage may vary. That said, I try hard to choose topics that, in my estimation, are unusual or unfamiliar to the average North American adult and seem likely to interest a wide range of people. In general, I try to select things that will still be interesting several years from now, which rules out many topics in the worlds of high tech, pop culture, and politics, interesting though they may be. I also prefer, when possible, to describe things with which I’ve had some personal experience, because I believe that gives the descriptions more depth and credibility." - Joe Kissell.
