Robert McCelland at MyBlahg has begun The Canadian Blog Awards, and nominated NWW for "Best Conservative Blog." I'm flattered.
I come at things quite differently than he does, and have been put off by his some time tendency to insult first and reason second. Kudos to Rob for being big about the different approaches. I'll try to do the same.
I'm not under the impression the NWW will score a crushing victory over well known and published names like Andrew Coyne. I'm also up against some blogs I read and enjoy, like Brock: On the Attack, Bound by Gravity and Babbling Brooks, not to mention Jay Currie. But if you like this blog and want to vote, well, what are you waiting for?
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...
