I was delighted to listen to this episode of Design Matters, because I was delighted to get to know Austin Kleon. Kleon comes a world quite familiar to me. His father taught at a state university in the midwest, and he went to a state school for college. He talks about work in a way that people in my family understand work, as a verb rather than as a noun. He has had great success, but doesn't seem to dwell on the work he has done, at least in the interview.
He talks about blogging in the interview. And he writes about blogging. His website seems to be the place he blogs, which makes sense. Austin Kleon shares traits with various people in our family (music, drawing, writing, love of kids), which is probably part of the reason for my delight.
He talks about being a parent in the interview, and I enjoyed reading this article about being a parent. You might too.
I am also willing to wager (and I'm not a betting woman) that he is an occasional reader of Michael's blog.

He once quoted something of mine on tumblr. I hope, Elaine, this increases my cred in our household.
