I am a sucker for...

i-f0a5accdaa092f5372195e1f2c1227c2-thinkingbloggerpf8.jpg...memes. Especially when someone tries to track its spread. Especially when they call me "The Thinking Blogger", originating from the eponimous Thinking Blog. Tagged by Greg Laden, so it is really quite simple:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote
