Five Blogs That Make Me Think
Dan Lockton is an industrial designer, engineer and writer in England
On his deservedly popular blog, fulminate//Architectures of Control, he has paid me the lovely compliment of tagging me with a Thinking Blogger Award:
a meme started by Ilker Yoldas here. If you are tagged, you continue the meme by posting only five of your own favorites. You can copy the optional Thinking Blogger Award image here or on Ilker’s site where there is an alternative silver version as well.
Here are five of the many great blogs that make me think:
Corante’s Many-to-Many is an excellent group weblog on social software authored by Clay Shirky, Liz Lawley, Ross Mayfield, Sebastien Paquet, David Weinberger and Danah Boyd.
Diane Francis is a superb journalist with lots of insight into how business and politics really work.
Chris is a cognitive psychologist whose posts on his science blog Mixing Memory enjoyably remind me of the many perspectives on what makes us tick.
Great thinking is often about making the complicated easily comprehensible rather than the other way around. Joel Spolsky makes some of the challenging toil of day to day business downright enjoyable in his trademark straightforward style. Here’s the full archive list page from his blog Joel on Software.
I also hope very much to see Kathy Sierra back on Creating Passionate Users. Despite her temporary absence, the archives there are still brimming with inspired posts.
Choosing only five was more difficult than limiting daily time spent reading my favorites, and I didn’t even get to economics or law or investment or science or art and design. Thank you to Dan for your too kind words, and to Ilker for starting the meme.
