Futility Closet

Futility Closet is a blog, podcast, and database started in 2005 by editorial manager and publishing journalist Greg Ross.[1]

History

In January 2005, Greg Ross started the Futility Closet website, an online wunderkammer of trivia, quotations, mathematical curiosities, chess problems, and other diversions.[2] The site has spawned two printed collections,[3] and continues to be updated daily. Gary Antonick of the New York Times' Numberplay blog described the first book as "the literary equivalent of Trader Joe's Tempting Trail Mix".[4]
