Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded: A Decade of Whatever 1998-2008

On September 13 1998 John Scalzi sat down in front of his computer to write the first entry in his blog Whatever--and changed the history of the Internet as we know it today.. What youre not swallowing that one? Okay fine: He started writing Whatever and amused about 15 people that first day. If that many. But he kept at it for ten years and running. Now 40000 people drop by on a daily basis to see what hes got to say.. About what? Well about whatever: Politics writing family war popular culture and cats (especially with bacon on them). Sometimes hes funny. Sometimes hes serious (mostly hes sarcastic). Sometimes people agree with him. Sometimes they send him hate mail which he grades on originality and sends back. Along the way Scalzis become a best-selling award-winning author a father and a geek celebrity. But no matter what theres always another Whatever post to amuse and/or enrage his readers..
