Kottke is considered a pioneering blogger and began his blog in March 1998.[7] In 2000, Kottke and his then-girlfriend were profiled in a New Yorker article, "You've Got Blog", which introduced blogging to a wider audience.[8][9] His contributions to blogging were acknowledged when he won a Bloggie Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003 after five years of blogging. In 2005 Kottke was able to quit his day job to focus on blogging full-time.[10] Kottke writes that as of 2019, "Probably 60 percent of my revenue is from membership, and the rest is from Amazon and ads."[11] His blogging got him in trouble with Sony[12] when he broke the news[13] of the loss that broke Ken Jennings' Jeopardy! win streak.[14]
Personal life
Kottke was married to Meg Hourihan and they have two children.[15] He lives in Vermont.[16]
