The big news this week is the impending sale of tech site Ars Technica to Conde Nast for $25 million. Ars has been one of the top tech sites for years and it’s great to see a big company put so much value on what they do. That said, we are happy to announce that we are on the table for a potential sale too. Thinking about this big sale has led us to realize that we hold a ton of value to a potential suitor and we’re ready to kick off that process. We bring a lot of value to the table and we’re ready to entertain offers from anybody.
Why should suitors be interested? To start with a buyer of jkOnTheRun will get a top tech site that has been a CNET Top 100 Tech Blog for several years. Given the big sale of CNET this week I guess you could say that we’re considered one of the best Tech sites by CBS, and that’s got some real street cred. A buyer of jkOTR also gets Kevin C. Tofel and James Kendrick, two of the best-looking geeks in the tech world on top of being two of the best writers on the tech beat today. Just compare photos of either one with a photo of Walt Mossberg and you’ll see the value in that statement. With wit and talent the writing team of jkOTR cover all areas of the technology sector and are read by many daily. Why just today the writings of the two are on the front page of both Engadget and Gizmodo, two other tech sites you may have heard of.
So what is jkOnTheRun worth? We’re thinking in the neighborhood of $10 million. After all you get what you pay for and you’re paying for the best. Well second best if you consider the pricing of the Ars Technica deal. But for any serious prospective buyers there is a special deal starting today:

What a deal! We’ll throw in jkOnTheRun coffee mugs and mouse pads too! So don’t delay, get your offer in via email to James Kendrick by clicking on his cartoon head (also included) in the right sidebar. He’ll make sure that Kevin gets his half, honest.
