Blogs that make us think

A few days ago something incredible happened to us, the prominent collective mp3blog Motel de Moka tagged us as one of the 5 blogs that made them think with a meme originated by The Thinking Blog. It's our first ever tag and it makes us proud to be tagged specifically by this meme that's about our favourite organ. Yeah the gray matter up there!. Rules: If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that we tag with the meme "what makes us think". Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme. Here's our picks of the internet creme de la creme that makes us think. If Charlie Parker was a gunslinger there'd be a whole lot of dead copycats : Even the name of this blog kills but cinehead Tom Sutpen's photo blog is one of the most diverse and creative photoblogs ever. His selection of photography and art makes us ponder on the century gone by forming connections along the way. Series with creative themes like They Were Collaborators or When Legends Gather focus on collaborating music & cinema artists of the past, The Art of Cinema & Seminal Image focus on movie posters and still cinema shots, The Art of War on propaganda, Before and After on the youth & geezerhood of famous people in fact there's so many great themes, I kind of think that this blog is the best planned photoblog ever aspiring to the heights of a traditional museum. Sentient Developments : Blog by the Canadian transhumanist philospher George Dvorsky on future of intelligent life, emerging technologies, nanotech, ethics and philosophy. That's how we prepare for the future, kids!. Overcoming Bias : Topics include Rational Thinking, Probability, Philosophy, Psychology, Bayesian theory, Economy, Belief Systems etc. Great insights into daily life and the thinking machine called humans. Destination Out : The Destination Out blog is a recent find but it has instantly become a fertile resource of learning about jazz for kids like us with interest but no proper education. Ping Mag : Error101's pick. One of the most craftily diverse blog/mags we've seen about idea and inspiration, topics ranging from music, architecture and computer graphics to all things Japan. We especially like the interviews, in terms of exploring creativity; different points of view on how creativity is being ripened from an idea to a fully developed project. And I know it's 6 but let's not forget, Bricolage Fantasy Squashed's own mp3blog which has been on our linkroll for eternity. Though he's slowed down his output there to concentrate on Motel de Moka, his posts constantly have good music laced with commentary that makes us think, and don't think this is some kind of cyber backpetting, he's also an important opinion leader on the elbo.ws forum as well!. Here's a gift to all our readers and inspirers. Without you the internet would only be wires and machines and as boring as the real world.
