I have subscribed to a Google blogs feed for anyone mentioning Takashi Nagai, the person I hope to see canonized as a Saint. Here is a recent blog I found with this search, and so I know that some people are still discovering his books and message of "war never again.":

By the way, Nagai's books and Glynn's biography of him were dumped out of our library collection. So goes some of the "primary eyewitness" history of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. I hope other libraries aren't doing the same. With President Bush seeking a confrontation with Iran, we need Nagai's story more than ever.
However, although Google says I have created the update feed, I'm not sure where that will be appearing. It is not on my bloglines list. Confusing.
I also added this science feed, very easy since the website had a link for doing:

Well now I have to do a library feed (boring):

To be honest, unless a blogger really has an unusual postion, such as a BBC reporter in a world hotspot, blogs are just anyone's opinion. Yes, it is nice to express ourselves, but what do we really add to the knowledge of the world? Just so many more letters to the editor.
I do appreciate news feeds, and I may tolerate those that maybe connect with all my many scattered and dilletante interests
