3rd Intellectual Blogger Award…

Filed under: My Interests, blogging — Tags: , — mahendrap @ 4:53 pm

It has been a long time since I nominated The Intellectual Blogger Award, after Ergo and Nita. Being a newbie, I decided to take time to discover new blogs, and will continue to do so.100th Post Celebration

However, without further delay, let me talk about Paul’s Cafe Philos.

Strictly speaking, Cafe Philos violates one of the rules of the award - that you cannot nominate group blogs. However, in this case, Paul spearheads the blog virtually single-handedly almost 99% percent of the time, so this rule is waived. :-)

Paul Sunstone writes sensitively, intelligently, and independently, on a variety of topics. He makes me think.

At the same time, he is one of the most prolific bloggers I know. It can be difficult to keep pace with his posts.

Another recently launched feature of his blog is his weekly editorial picks. His pace of writing posts is matched only by his voracious reading.

So, I am very happy to present The Intellectual Blogger Award to Cafe Philos! Congratulations, Paul!

  4. Brian: I know you’ll understand if I take objection to your use of the word “link” - it is not just a link, but an “award”. There are many “links” in my blogroll, but this is something different altogether…

    I don’t think I need to say more…

  8. Great choice in giving Paul this award. Visiting his blog always makes me thing about topics that don’t usually cross my mind.

  9. Steve: Thank you! Paul really deserves it. In fact, I think I was late in doing what I should’ve done quite a while back!
