A few links:

-If you’d like, you can read more about Screenshots of Despair on Know Your Meme. It’s a more articulate and rational explanation of the site than I’ve ever been able to give. (However, it also brings to mind this John Peel quote I stumbled across in the Paris Review: “At the heart of anything good there should be a kernel of something undefinable.”)

-In a recent interview with The Verge, Peter Vidani, tumblr’s lead designer, gave THIS VERY SITE a much-appreciated shout out. Thank you! And check out the interview.

-The beginning of Renny Gleeson’s TED talk on 404 pages reads a lot like this blog stripped of its starkly comical poetry. But then it gets better!

I will once again thank everyone who has submitted hilarious, depressing, outrageous, nonsensical screenshots to this blog. Outstanding and astonishing creativity. (If you want to submit, use the submit button above or email josh.kimball@gmail.com.)
