In tribute to Matt: Friday Random Ten

November 11th, 2005 by Josh

Over the past year I’ve had the delight of reading and corresponding with Matt of The Tattered Coat. While we may have never met in real life, I consider him a friend and his writing has been something I’ve turned to for insight, humor, and a bit of inspiration. Sadly Matt has (rightly) decided that his dissertation is more important than his blog and has (temporarily I hope) hung up his keyboard. Check out some of his greatest hits:

Good luck Matt. This one goes out to you:

    You’re listening to Aqualung these days? They’re like Coldplay lite.
