What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 1998
Jason Kottke's link blog, a running selection of things he found interesting on the web, which he still publishes.
Kottke, a web designer, started it in March 1998 and is counted among the pioneering bloggers. He won a Bloggie Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, went full-time on it in 2005, and now funds it mostly through memberships.
In 1998: Started in March by Kottke, who the next year designed the Silkscreen pixel typeface.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
