Thanks! I'm the founder of the site, and author of Absolute Zero is 0K. I wish we could post articles more frequently, but it's a spare-time-and-weekends project, and my spare time shrinks as I accumulate life responsibilities and such. And because I am the final editor I am a terrible bottleneck.
I have hundreds--if not thousands--of other topics I want to write about. I am optimistic that one day I'll be able to afford to quit one of my days jobs and spend more time on Damn Interesting, which would help improve our posting frequency tremendously. In the meantime I sigh wistfully.
- peckrob 11y agoHey, thanks for all the great articles! I don't want to come across as ungrateful or anything; I've been a reader for years and I love your work. I put your blog in the same category as Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcasts. They don't update super often, but when they do I know they're going to be good. :)
- sdoering 11y agoThanks for that great article. I was born near the place these two families touched down. Some years ago I was able to see the ballon. Quite moving.
- blake8086 11y agoHave you considered Patreon?
- DamnInteresting 11y agoI have indeed considered it, but there are some technical hurdles for me to overcome first. Most notably, our current donation system has a lot of automation included that I would need to reproduce for Patreon (e.g., sending 5% to our Kiva fund, putting funds into various buckets depending on multiple variables, etc).
