TIL

And it all started …

with this idea. Back on March 10th (2008), I sent this e-mail to our favorite “what’s hot” daily newsletter suggesting that they create a newsletter that was completely dedicated to independent living. Not in the sense of being mature and on your own, but in the sense of supporting both green living and the handmade / indie movement.

Well, by the time I sent the e-mail, I thought “Wait a second! Why don’t I just do it myself?” So here we are, TIL (The Indiependent Life).

Our team is dedicated to bringing you the hot happenings in indie. We will guide you every step of the way and support you in the transition from mass market to indiependent. You will find features on artists, style and news. As well as resources for consumers and indiepreneurs. One of my favorite segments is spotlighting everyday consumers and letting the world know how they indie.

So there you have it, how it began and what we’re doing. We, of course, want to hear from you, our readers, on what you want to see and how we can make it better. TIL is an ever-evolving journey that will enhance your everyday life - indiependently!

love,

the TIL Squad
