  1. NEW EPISODE: Book 2 of Old Man's War - √! Come see what Jim has to say in this spoiler-lite review, either to consider reading, or to see if Jim connected with the book as you did. #SciFi #SFF #OldMansWar #JohnScalzi youtu.be/oXrfQbnnrx0

  2. The use of generative "AI" in the arts is an interesting subset of the new technology, and #JohnScalzi has some interesting thoughts about it. whatever.scalzi.com/2026/02/14

  3. NEW EPISODE: Jim reviews Old Man's War, by John Scalzi, the book that started everything for this author. Why did he wait so long? He'll tell you. Check it out! #SciFi #SFF #JohnScalzi youtu.be/GW5OogTby_w

  4. Mitä tästä kirjasta sanoisi? Hullu, hullumpi, hulluin kuu? Kyllähän tässä huumoria oli havaittavissa, mutta ihan ei kirja eikä kuu pysynyt kasassa.

  6. Meh, I really hate #Running later than 11 am. But it was a really full morning, playing the #trumpet for ~3 hours, conducting, whirring around and tending to stuff. So there was no other way. And it had *one* upside: No spikes, what a relief (which is not to say I don’t love my EXOspikes, but running without them because there‘s not that much ice anymore, well, has its own benefits). I had company: THE LAST COLONY by the one and only #JohnScalzi. Great, as it is each time! #applewatchultra3

  7. Ok, sick break‘s over, back to my usual schedule: A half marathon in the morning is good for me, makes me feel waaaayyy better than anything else. And finishing OLD MAN‘S WAR and going directly into THE GHOST BRIGADES is another way to improve my day. #Running #winter #JohnScalzi #audiobooks #applewatchultra3

  8. A quotation from John Scalzi

    Rich people show their appreciation through favors. When everyone you know has more money than they know what to do with, money stops being a useful transactional tool. So instead you offer favors. Deals. Quid pro quos. Things that involve personal involvement rather than money. Because when you’re that rich, your personal time is your limiting factor.

    John Scalzi (b. 1969) American writer
    Lock In, ch. 3 [Shane] (2014)

  9. I‘m a little under the weather, but I have tongo to work (two classes have tests next week, I can’t skip the last lesson before that). Lots of coworkers sick at home, so quite a load extra this week. And my voice is already on the brink… But, in other/better news: The run was ok, the audiobook was great, I started this run with OLD MAN‘S WAR by John Scalzi. Always a pleasure, and it’s my first run-through in English. Yeah! #Running #applewatchultra3 #audiobooks #JohnScalzi

  10. NEW EPISODE: Jim took on another John Scalzi novel recently, 2023's Starter Villain. Hilarious! Need to read more Scalzi! Come find out why. #SciFi #SFF #JohnScalzi youtu.be/dPXSXCDgjk8

  11. Starting on Scalzi’s redshirts. Far as I can tell, it’s a pitch for Lower Decks.

    Strong start so far.

  12. Just need “The Ghost Brigades” and I’ll have the whole series! I’d also like “Old Man’s War” in hardcover but I’ve already got two copies in paperback so a third might be a bit much. #Books #BookSky #JohnScalzi #OldMansWar #SFF cc. @[email protected]

  13. Started reading The Kaiju Preservation Society. It’s weird reading a novel recent enough to take place during the pandemic.

  14. 📚 Braved the mall on X-mas Eve and snagged two more books from a second-hand bookstore. Almost have the whole series! 🏷️ #BookSky #JohnScalzi #SciFi #SFF

  15. Burned through #TheShatteringPeace by #JohnScalzi in a couple of days. Classic Scalzi space-opera-and-snark romp, with lots of my beloved Obin. (I read them in Alan Tudyk's voice). Ready for the next book now.

  16. A year ago, award winning author John Scalzi came to Medina and did a Q&A at our local library. Afterwards, he was gracious enough to do a book signing.

  18. Throwback Thursday 2 – Solar Eclipse Boogaloo

    I just finished John Scalzi’s When The Moon Hits Your Eye and, seeing as the story included the solar eclipse from April 2024, I figured I’d share the shot I took of the eclipse from my deck.
