I’m experimenting with ways to make it easier for occasional readers of this blog to quickly find the weightier posts here, without compromising readability for people who read more often. That’s why I’ve been sticking selected posts to the top of the page.

Opportunities for Civilian Volunteers in Iraq
Someone forwarded this to me and it looks like a worthy cause and an interesting opportunity for qualified individuals, so I am passing the word. Perhaps some of our readers will be interested or know other people who might be.
DVD Player Speakers Bleg
I’ve got this little portable DVD player. It works fine but the sound even all the way up is too quiet. I am an electronics illiterate. It is a Polaroid PDM-1058. Does anyone know whether I can run some external speakers out the earphone jack? And if so what kind would be good to get?
A Question for RSS Users
This blog’s syndication feeds are configured to deliver the last 30 posts. Is 30 posts too many, too few, or does the number not matter to you? Comments appreciated.
Thanks.
Your Favorite Books, Movies, etc?
UPDATE (1/19/2007): Please keep your recommendations coming!
I’m setting up an Amazon store for the blog, with the idea of providing one-stop shopping for canonical titles in Anglospheria, military history, political history etc. No reason why we can’t also list movies (Zulu!) and perhaps other stuff. I’m looking for suggestions, so if you have a top-ten (or top-whatever) list that you’re willing to share, please feel free to tell us in the comments.
Thanks!
UPDATE (1/15/2007): I am going to leave this post on top for a while. Please scroll down to read newer posts.
UPDATE (1/21/2007): The link to our new Amazon store is up. I haven’t added all of your recommended books and movies yet, and the organization of the store’s content needs work, but I will deal with these issues ASAP. Please keep your recommendations coming! I will leave this post up for a while longer. (And please feel free to leave suggestions for the organization of the store as well.) Thanks again.
