2007 is coming to end and I am really tired. It is time now to wish good things to everyone and review my to-do lists. I started the Mind Moleskine project a while ago and will shortly assess the results. I will post them with comments first thing in 2008, which I hope will be a better year.
Peace.

Litemind writing contest: my favorites
...and how I found them
List of my favorite blogs from Litemind's contest:
How I choose them:
1. First I created a list of quality criteria:
1.a minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 links
1.b relevance. Is the subject valuable for me?
1.c richness. Is the blog superficial?
1.d style. Do I like the way the author writes?
1.e freshness. Can I learn something from the blog?
2. I read all blogs and rated them from 1 to 5.
3. I picked up the highest scores (19 articles).
4. I wrote some personal notes about the articles.
5. I eliminated some articles from the final list.
6. I compiled the final list.
7. I published this post.
8. I will give authors feedback and stumble (wwww.stumbleupon.com) their pages.
9. I will read them again.
Some notes about my personal choices:

As a former lecturer I found it refreshing to read this article. It made me think about its relevant concepts. Its fluence and style impressed me.

fier
