Cognitive Edge

Another meme, and this time a difficult one. Which five blogs make me think? I get a nasty feeling that this can only cause offense (i.e. who do I not include). So I have decided to nominate only blogs that do not come from people I know well, but instead reference the more general subject matter blogs I use. I should also make it clear that this list reflects the area in which I am currently reading the most - six months ago it would have been different, six months hence it will change.

So here goes with the list:

Cognitive Daily which brings together a broad range reserach and other material from the Cognitive Sciences
Thinking Meat which is in the same area, but different, an interesting set of posts on religion recently
Savage Minds which is a great source of all things anthropological
Rough Type for informed thinking about the role of IT in society
Indexed for some of the most insightful use of cartoons, although it was difficult to choose between it and Gaping Void

Now I know I have asked others to enter this field too often so I am going to break the rules and invite anyone who reads this blog to take up the challenge. Just place a comment here to say that you are doing it, and the first five count. If no one does, then this is where it stops!

Thanks a ton for accepting the meme, Dave! Really appreciate it! :) And well, you're right. The blogs that have an impact on us are the ones that deal with our current interests. Even I was worried I may end up losing some good friends in Blogosphere but decided to face the challenge. ;)
PS: "Indexed" is one of my choices as well! :)

Warwick - good to see you here and hope Seattle is not too wet!
Now apologies but I am not sure what you mean by this. I have checked each hotlink and they go to the right sites. What isn't a blog?
