The Thinking Blogger Award

The Thinking Blogger Award

Well, I’ve been tagged by Beep!Beep! It’s Me again. This time however, I have every reason to be quite chuffed. This one’s “The Thinking Blogger Award” and it goes to those blogs that really make you think about stuff. Now coming from Beep, who’s blog I read every day and where I have some of the most fantastic discussions and arguments, means that this one really means something to me (I’m such a nerd, I know). It’s got a snazzy little piccie to go with it and everything…:)

Anyway, here’s the rules:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with 5 blogs that make you think

2. Link to this post so that people can find the exact origin of the meme.

3. Optional: Proudly display the “Thinking Blogger Award” with a link to the post that you wrote (there is a silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).

4. Your chosen blogs cannot have been previously awarded.

A committee is a  cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured then quietly strangled. - Sir Barnett Cocks.

I’ve had my share of committees, I hate them and I know exactly how he feels. That said however, I’ve seen ideas get strangled in many other places besides, one or two right here.

Now this is all very well and good, but the rules make it awkward. If you really want to see most of the blogs I’d have nominated, go to Beep’s and read her award. The only one in hers that I don’t regularly lurk at is Steve G.

The only other ones are group type blogs that don’t tend to participate in meme’s, like GIFs, The 2% Company & The Bronze Dog. There is one however, run by an individual, that I regularly read that deals with a wide variety of subject matter and always has food for thought, or if you’re like me and understand very little about the finer points of finance, you’ll definitely learn something new. So my one and only tag at this stage (I really need to think some more about this) is:

Dikkii’s Diatribe - (This page is an outlet for my own hate-filled vitriol and spiteful opinions. Uneducated as I am in the ways of the world, it's still necessary to vent my spleen at the media, the music industry, the AFL and anyone else who could have offended my sensibilities. I plan for this to be updated occasionally, depending on my state of mind. So you can either look forward to, or avoid my one-sided, uninformed and dangerously unbalanced opinions on the state of the world and everyone in it.)

Congrats Plonka

Doesn't surprise me at all. Except when I read about old men attempting impossible bike rides, of course...

Nominated!!

Thanks Ted.

Don't think that I need to mention that I'm thrilled, but I will.

Will try to live up to the increased expectations, now.
