Having made comments in an earlier post, arguing that you are unlikely to find deep, thoughtful commentary on a blog, I came across the Thinking Blogger Awards.

Author! Author! blogger Annie Mini is one recipient. It’s interesting to note, however, that Annie’s posts (with glorious, accompanying photographs), are considerably longer–more chapter length–than you’d expect from a blog.
Note how Laurelle VanFossen differentiates a “thinking blogger” from everyone else:
It’s passion.
It’s that fire in your belly, morally committed passion that leaps off the blog page.
You know this person is living, and writing, their passion.
The same passion, fire, desire to birth something brilliant must be present to write for any medium. Nevertheless, it’s good to hear there are “thinking bloggers” out there and someone’s had the sense to give them an award.
