Gary Antonick of the New York Times' Numberplay blog described the first book as "the literary equivalent of Trader Joe's Tempting Trail Mix". The site has spawned two printed collections, and continues to be updated daily. In January 2005, Greg Ross started the Futility Closet website, an online wunderkammer of trivia, quotations, mathematical curiosities, chess problems, and other diversions.
It presented curious and little-known events and people from history, and posed logical puzzles.
The associated Futility Closet Podcast was a weekly podcast hosted by Greg and his wife Sharon Ross. They range over the fields of history, literature, language, art, philosophy, and recreational mathematics. As of February 2021 the database totaled over 11,000 items. Futility Closet is a blog, podcast, and database started in 2005 by editorial manager and publishing journalist Greg Ross.
