Sayonara, SFB.


The Science Fiction Blog was my attempt to do something useful with a format which seemed at the time (and still seems sometimes) to be 95% filled with self-aggrandizing jerks, ridiculously uninformed politics and pictures of kitties. I was inspired largely by Language Log, Search Engine Blog and other subject-specific blogs of interest.

I had a good run with it, but with Fans mostly gone and so many other projects in the air, I just haven't been able to muster the obsession that SFB requires.

So I'm passing the torch to Ray Radlein, who will no doubt lead the concept into a new and glorious age.

Keep up with it here.

Huh? Did you mean webcomics?
 
*Badumpshhh!!!!*
 
I think you'll all enjoy the mix of ridiculously uninformed kitties, self-agrandizing politicians, and pictures of jerks that I have planned for SFBlog.
 
I've always been curious why a blog like SFBlog doesn't have one of the automatic commenting systems. I mean, SFBlog fairly cries out for community building, doesn't it?

In either case, this is bittersweet news. M. Radlein is possessed of significant clue, so it's an exciting transition, but I've always liked "T Campbell's Science Fiction Blog," so it's also sad. It's a whole plethora of emotional reactions.

Well, I'll be reading regardless. Good luck to all and sundry.

Are you still going to post to it on occasion, T?
