My Blahg is running The Canadian Blog Awards again this year. I know that last year I said I would have nothing to do with them in 2005. That was after Robert was particularly nasty and threatening to a US blogger. Two things have made me decide to ease off on Robert a tad. I've been nominated in a new category this year - Best Religious Blog and I think it's good to have Canadian religious blogs recognized. There are seven blogs in that cateogory thus far and maybe you have never heard of them, and maybe this is a chance to find and recognize new talent and new efforts. There's quite a variety so far. A couple of Christian blogs including a Lutheran minister and one that looks like it might be quite left. There's also a cynic and I must add that I'm quite pleased to see him in this category.
My money's on Kathie Shaidle to win. She probably is the most well known of the bunch and she's certainly prolific.
The whole thing runs until December 11, and the best of good luck to all of the bloggers who will be nominated.
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...
