I have been dutifully maintaining the blogroll to the right, adding new ones when I find something I like (and think people who like NWW might like), deleting inactive blogs, and doing it pretty quietly. There is, however, a new blog that I'm pretty excited about and I want to point it out so no one misses it.
Keith Burgess Jackson has started a blog called The Conservative Philosopher, which will be a group blog. The names signing on are impressive - Burgess- Jackson himself, Bill Vacellia, John Kekes, Roger Scruton and more. I also heard a rumor that Jim Ryan (who did Philosoblog a while back but dropped out due to time constraints) is on board too. You might even find my comments on Ryan's old blog. Or even a link to my old pre blogger site.
I am taking tonight off and catching up on reading this new entry. The topic of the moment seems to be "what is conservatism?" I doubt anything I put here would be better, so you're invited to check it out.
At the moment the biggest drawback I can see is that the comment links and permalinks are one and the same, which is a bit confusing at first. A key to the writer's initials would also be very helpful.

Ok, there seems to be a problem with the code for the site feed, and it is making the author's list invisible in Firefox (but not in IE). Keith has also linked to little old me. Wow.
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...
