The "Whatever Blog"

If any of you are interested in the history of blogging or the study of blogging social media, you should probably know the name “John Scalzi.”


He’s a freelance writer & sci-fi novelist who’s been blogging since the term was practically invented. I believe he holds the record for longest consistent blogger? (twelve years!)

I just bought his (latest?) book – “Your Hate Mail will be Graded” which is basically just excerpts from his blog – aptly named “Whatever” because it’s usually about *whatever* he wants to write about – and it’s been a pretty great read so far. The chapters are pretty short (as most blogposts are) and flow pretty nicely.


Anyway, enough plugging for one day. (I’ve been doing that a lot lately, haven’t I?)

Blogger's Block

Forgive the lack of posts. Work has been kind of hectic lately with the boss out of town. (All her work falls to me when she's gone)

Plus - I can't really think of anything to blog about lately. Stuff's been happening, but I just don't feel the need / urge to write about it.

Here's a list of recent happenings in my life:

• Pi Day - 3/14 (had some Pie w/Carol)
• Got my digital camera fixed (for $80)
  
• Daylight Savings ended (warmer jogs for me!)
  
• Hung out in Venice with some friends on Friday (pricey town)
  

Nothing too big, right? I have some thoughts, but I think they're best left to when I have more time to think about them.

But in the meantime, gotta feed the blog.
