I've been chatting with Mathew over at Philosophusion about the value of human life and when we can be said to have any rights. Mathew and I are coming at the problem from very different angles but the discussion is civil.
Anyone else care to share their ideas? Here or there, I'm watching the thread as it develops.
I also want to point out a beautiful post that my wife found on the net the other day. It casts a nice light on motherhood and sacrifice.
My move to Mac has been very happy except for two issues - gaming and blogging. For websurfing and multimedia, a Mac is of course a terrific machine. Games on the Mac platform are often ports of games made for the larger PC market and that means a Mac gamer will have to wait for the port. I'm not a heavy gamer by any means but I am very happy that the Mac port of Civilization 4 is finally here. Well, my copy isn't here quite yet - but it has been ordered and ought to be here soon. The blogging issue is more complicated. I'm not fond of writing my posts in a browser window. This goes back to when I was first blogging and I lost one or two large posts into the ether. After that I moved to w.bloggar - a great little app that let me compose on my desktop and then click send when all was said and done. I have not been able to recreate that experience on my Mac, and not for a lack of trying! I looked at Marsedit , but that forces you to compse while staring at a bunch of HMT...
