5 Bloggers Who Make Me Think

I was tagged by Roger Anderson with a Thinking Blogger’s Award. The idea is to link to 5 blogs that make us think, and tell why we like them. The hard part is picking only 5, as I am pretty brutal on weeding my RSS feeds weekly, so I tend to only read the cream in my feed reader. Below are my picks.

Pick The Brain: John Wesley’s blog on analytical Self Improvement. John writes detailed posts, has a bright clean blog layout, and has a great writing style. I do not buy much into the self improvement genre, but John is one of the few I will listen to.

Dilbert Blog: Random brain dropping from the creator of Dilbert, Scott Adams. Scott has a unique sense of humor and his take on things is never quite how I would side on the issue, but he always makes me think.

Steve Olson: Steve is somewhat well known, but still a required read. He is blatantly honest and transparent about his fears, his life and his dreams. As I read about his choices, it makes me think more about my own. Recently, his posting frequency has dropped, but in typical Steve style, he blogged about it and let us into his life. All around great guy.

Wendy Piersall: I first read about Wendy from Steve (above), wondered why he would be recommending a site geared toward Moms, cruised on over to see for myself, then I was hooked! For a more detailed review of why I love Wendy, check out this review I did a while back.

Alister Cameron: He goes by the title of blogologist, whatever that means, but he is a blogging consultant from Australia (Oz has an inordinate amount of bloggers, for some reason). Not your usual John Chow rip off, he has a nice clean site, good advice, little fluff and a great writing voice. While not a frequent poster, one usually worth listening too.

Well, those are my picks. Thank you Roger, for tagging me and the nice words… anytime you need a guest blogger, just let me know! :-)
Here is the official stuff…

The Rules:

  • If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
  • Link to the Thinking Blogs Award post so that people can find the origin of the meme,
  • Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog)
