My nieces head back to Vancouver Island this afternoon and things here should be settling down again. It's been a challenge trying to post and I'm not sure the ones I did do were stellar. In particular, my post last night about John Lukacs' criticism of populism was a bit rough when it first went up. Since I am driving them to the ferry terminal this afternoon and it is a longish trip, this might be the only entry I do today.
This could be an opportunity, however, for me to ask readers here for some feedback. I seem to have a faithful bunch who turn in almost daily and I'm curious to know what it is that brings people here. So, here are a few questions for you.
What do readers make of the Links! posts? Are they fun and interesting, or a boring waste of time? I had hoped they might be useful in getting discussions going and through that to see what people were interested in. The posts are sometimes quiet and it's difficult to know what to make of that. Feedback, please.
Country Lyrics and jokes. I don't do too many of those, but at times I feel like airing out the place and having a bit of fun. They can also be a look at day to day conservative culture. Any thoughts?
I suppose the philosophy and religion posts are the bread and butter at NWW. Are there topics that I should look at but haven't yet? Is the selection of authors and books suitable and interesting?
OK, off to the ferry! I look forward to hearing from you. That means lurkers too!

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...
