TGIF

11:30: It's been a long week. I am glad it is Friday. I think I'll sleep in tomorrow. This morning I got up at 5:45 for my run. I came down to the dining room table and fond a stack of white computer paper with printing on it. I absent-mindedly start reading the first page, and it is an absolutely fascinating story of a young man who may have invented a time machine. It is riveting -- a real page turner. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Then Joe Haldeman comes down. It turns out he was up during the night working on his next book. It's strange having a successful science-fiction author in your house.

The reason I started this blog was to learn more about the phenomenon. Joe, science-fiction writer that he is, was way ahead of the curve. He started his "on-line diary" several years ago, before anybody talked about blogs. Now people are suggesting that blogs could either be (or contribute to) the next mass medium.
Joe's blog is located at:
http://webnews.sff.net/read?cmd=blogview&group=sff.people.joe-haldeman&from=7066

I see he referred to me and I have referred to him, and we are all connected. I don't know what that means, but it is cool, I'm sure.
