Shortly after I closed shop on this blog, I got into a conversation with Kevin Whited about what, if anything, I'd do next. As it turned out, both of us have had similar ideas knocking around in the back of our minds for a while: A link-dominant blog with concise commentary similar to Reductio ad Absurdum, Kevin's old site where I used to contribute, the old Ten Second News, the mini-blog that used to appear to the left of RAWbservations, and our respective FURL sites. Over the months since we've talked about it loosely while I've gotten rested up enough to pursue another project. Last week we finally began posting full-time on the new Ten Second News. You can get a better idea of what we're aiming for here.

It will have a different feel than RAW360. It will focus more on politics and culture than personal anecdotes. Though we disagree on whole host of issues, Kevin and I on the whole share the same sort of ownership conservatism as an alternative to big government liberalism, intangible libertarianism, and conservatism of the more paleoconservative and red-meat variety.

Right now we have the main page, a comment section (registration is required as is civility), and a headlines only page for those that simply want to follow the links. In the future we plan to have a separate section for more thorough commentary and somewhere down the line we might even try a podcast.
