Delightful endorsement from "The Light of Reason"
I've had my blog up in production for less than a week, and am still working out kinks. I figured a couple of days ago, however, that it was time to start asking like minds to exchange sidebar links. So, I started today by asking Arthur Silber, proprietor of the fine Objectivist blog The Light of Reason, for such a reciprocal favor.
He contacted me a short while ago and let me know that not only had he done that, he had also written a note about it on his blog:
So I'm more than happy to tell you now about a brand new blog that I just found out about today. Survival Arts just began this week, and it looks to be a very fine blog. And this isn't just blogcest, and I'm not saying this because they included us in their links under "Live Free or Die!" They truly do look very promising, and Russell Whitaker, who writes most of the entries (at least so far) already has several very interesting posts up. (By the way: one of Russell's posts is about John Ross's book Unintended Consequences. Does anybody else know about this book? And how good is it? I keep hearing about it, and it sounds awfully interesting.) So go visit Survival Arts -- especially you Second Amendment folks -- and give them a hearty welcome to the blogosphere.
I'm floored by this incredibly gracious endorsement... thank you, Arthur. Oh, and thanks to Tom Burroughes for having pointed me to your blog. As you say above, this isn't just blogcest, it's genuine regard.
As for the fact that I write most of the posts at present, you're correct in your suspicion that this is a temporary matter. I've a number of fine contributors ramping up over the next days and weeks. We're working out the details of workflow entailed in (what I hope is) a serious publication.
Welcome, Light of Reason readers!
