Mirabile visu!

It's true - I've not posted since October. But I hope to resume, starting with this very post.

A nifty link for anyone interested in contemporary, accessible, non-jargon-y philosophical writing is www.philosophynow.org. It is a subscription service, but their site offers more than a few freely readable links to fun and brain-stimulating stuff, like their Dear Socrates advice column.

Speaking of stimuli... President Obama's administration has been active in keeping the White House blog updated, at http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/. Keeping yourself informed about public affairs is one of the most crucial (and interesting!) things a smart and curious individual can do. Give it a try.
