Our Features

Here's a list of our features at the WGOM.   It will perpetually be in a state of "mostly updated" because we like things to be half baked around here.  If you have an idea for a new feature, we're always happy to have them.  We might even get around to adding it to the list!

Daily Features

Cup of Coffee

Weekly Features

Friday Music Day (freealonzo & Philosofer)
Random musical thoughts from freealonzo & Philosofer. But mostly, the LTEs section is for citizens to share the first random ten from their digital music device or service of their choice, for the approval or disapproval of the others. Also, citizens can share any thoughts on music that can wait until Fridays.

Monthly Features

First Monday Book Day (Daneeka's Ghost, Pepper, and brianS)
In which the author bloviates on a book they managed to read in the past month, as an excuse to talk about Literature. Proving once again that the WGOM is the World's Greatest Online Magazine. Like the New Yorker without cartoons or paid professionals.
The Nation Has An Appetite
The national pastime is inexorably linked to food. We know a thing or two about food, or at least we like to think that we do. This column is a community effort to share recipes and food experiences.

Third Monday Movie Day
Spirited discussions about the great and the terrible in all aspects of film and television.
Parentgood/FKB
A monthly column regarding the Sisyphean nature of joys of parenthood, with content provided from the wealth of the Nation's wisdom.

Intermittent and/or Retired

Analysis (ubelmann)
Classic Album Reviews (freealonzo)
Every month Freealonzo digs into his CD collection, pulls out a favorite album and ruminates.
Musings from the Emeritus (SBG)
The Nation Has Problems (GreekHouse)
A chance to flex your mind muscles. Learn about how math affects sports and the world around us.
Twins Collectibles Spotlight (Rhubarb_Runner)
Pictoral vingettes focusing on baseball collectibles, primarily Twins collectibles.
NCIS (Various)
Entertaining exercises in identifying past games or at bats based upon a single photograph from a newspaper, magazine, or baseball card, for example.
Get to Know 'Em (MagUidhir)
Comment Plaques (MagUidhir)
Barley Pops and Hop Hits (brianS)
The WGOM wouldn't be the WGOM without a healthy dose of alcohol. But we are responsible drinkers. BPHH explores the glorious world of fermented grains, one pint at a time, through irregular beer reviews (Pint-Sized Reviews), and the occasional beer travelogue. Guest posts are welcomed, and home brew sharing strongly encouraged.
Pixel Perfect Memories (Beau)
In where the nation discusses video games once per month, and Beau hails a relatively unknown or unsung treasure from the past.
T-Wolves T-Wrap-Up (SBG? (Seasonal))
Random Day in Twins History (The Dread Pirate)
Episodic EPL Exposition and/or Monday MLS Mayhem - Mondays (MagUidhir)
The EEE and MMM provide a weekly round-up of Citizens' favorite soccer teams. This space is also used for any other general soccer items to share.
Weekly Wild Whangdoodle (Daneekas Ghost (seasonal))
A desperate attempt to give the local hockey team some WGOM ink.

Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.
