That would be a group called the Kollectors of Nasty Old Ties. They are “enthusiasts and accumulators of vintage neckties. Do the adjectives obnoxious, ugly or annoying describe your neckwear wardrobe? Do you watch ‘Night Court’ or ‘Third Rock from the Sun’ just to see what goofy tie Harry Anderson or John Lithgow is sporting?” MORE ➲

People who collect things

As a collector myself, I’m interested in what — and why — people collect. Some folks are just a little obsessive. For some it’s a true love affair. Others are fetishists. Some are mentally ill. Um. Anyway.

About
di4ent is an experiment. It's a collection of topical rotating wunderkammeresque distractions and delights. In other words, every month I'll choose four topics that I'd like to learn more about, or that I already find interesting and want to explore. Every weekday there will be a new post in each of the four topics. I decided to start it to give form and aim to my endless online wanderings. Plus I just like creating work for myself. So, I guess it's an online experiment in learning, linking, research and wasting time.
