   I read today that the pope also made a good point about blogging. At first I thought you were talking about that.

   I had already found Fred Pohl’s blog, but I’m really glad to see he’s getting wide exposure. Thanks, John.

   Only trouble is, I keep caught up with Pohl’s blog with a weekly reading. It’s not the full time endeavor that this blog is.

   There’s no way I’d miss his blog.

   What a fabulous slice of American history. Thanks for the link.

   My new word for the day is “blogutiae.” Thanks!

   BTW: If you can find it, Asimov’s autobiography is a detailed look at that era. (I hesitate to recommend wholeheartedly only because I read it when I was 15…almost thirty years ago.)

   Your link is to 1/2 of his two volume autobiography.

   I enjoyed those books, but not as much as _Pohl’s The Way the Future Was_.

    I must be tapped into an SF history current right now. Good pointer you are.

    Wow. Stuff like that brings home to me just what an absolute treasure trove people of my grandparent’s generation are. And to have one in cyberspace! This made my day! Thanks John!

    Thank you John. I spent the last hour reading through his blog. It is wonderful.

    Well Done JOHN…. to know what and how the past makes the future you could not have done a better find, than with a grand old master of Science Fiction and his memories.

    That just makes me smile harder…

    I’ve been following Pohl’s blog for a while. As a young science fiction reader in the 50′s, Asimov and Heinlein were gods to me. And, finding any science fiction in the public libraries in those days required stamina.

    I first knew Pohl’s work in his collaborations with Kornbluth. His recent blogs about the Futurians have been fascinating.

    If you haven’t seen the blog before and, you’re interested in the history of SF, go back through some of his earlier posts.

    I had no idea that Frederik Pohl had a blog, and I’m thankful to you for filling this terrible gap in my knowledge. This is great stuff.

    Eeep! I skipped class today to get “work” done at home, but have been completely derailed by Mr. Pohl’s blog! I blame YOU, Mr. Scalzi! >:|

    …but also thank you. It’s a fantastic read!

    Awesome link. Also awesome – Mr. Pohl literally lives one two towns over from me. Not that I am going to stalk him or anything, I just think it’s cool that a titan of SF is so close. It’s inspiring.

    An amazing man. Thanks for the link.

    @Howard Brazee So the dean of living science fiction writers — a 90-year-old man who has the use of only one hand — is working on a new novel AND a second volume of memoirs AND blogging at least weekly … and you’re complaining about his level of output?
22. Howard Brazee says:

    I don’t see that I complained, but I will say I can be greedy about top writing.
