about the project ​

The easiest way to explain this project is probably to explain how it started. One day, my husband hit me with the good old “you know, curiosity killed the cat.” I am convinced he only says this because of the great joy I get from then insisting “and satisfaction brought it back! No one ever finishes that properly.” I decided I needed to know the origins of the phrase. A quick google search turned up a number of theories and the following article:

The Washington Post, Mar. 4, 1916

The sentence, “On Wednesday the cat, curiosity unsatisfied, tried to climb higher,” stuck in my head as I thought to myself, what a great name for a blog. Several minutes later I was searching google domains. Lo and behold, curiosityunsatisfied.com was available. Not even .org or .net, but the plain old .com! I couldn’t believe someone hadn’t already snatched it up. Things proceeded as they usually do, and by the end of the night, I found myself the proud owner of one new domain and a year’s worth of hosting services. I quickly convinced myself that learning WordPress would be easy enough, and surely it would be a highly marketable skill? (Results may vary)

Having done this whole process slightly backward – smarter people generally create a website for an idea they already have, rather than create a concept for a website that already exists – I decided to indulge myself and just research whatever I was curious about on any given week.

The infographics are just for kicks. Hope you enjoy!
