I was trying to find the older ones that I saw mentioned in your 2007 wrap-up, as well as the author interviews. Thanks again. Scalzi @ 25: Gracias, I got those.

I'm enjoying it immensely but am having a hard time finding some things (old author interviews and Big Ideas) that were apparently posted at a related source at the time. Is there an archive or link to any of these older ones that I've just failed to find in my clicking around? Thanks, and keep up the great writing!

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:00:01 +0000 http://whatever.scalzi.com/?p=6275#comment-129578 Good luck with this. I hope you will front-load the new site by scooping up all the Big Idea posts from Whatever and putting them in. Easy reference and all that, and give people a reason to visit already as the new content is being generated. I also like your comment in the interview about newspapers "cutting back on the things that their readers actually want to see, and it's stupid." I keep being reminded of the remark, don't remember from whom, that newspapers are responding to the drop in subscribers by giving people ever less reason to subscribe. Good luck with this.

Exciting news! Looking forward to it - looks like I may just have to increase my book budget. That's okay, though - books are half as expensive as videogames, therefore I can buy twice as many of them! Right? :P ^What Roger and Shane said.
