During the month of February Michael Kwan ran the Top Thinker Contest on his blog beyond the rhetoric. He had two prizes, one for the most comments and one for the best thought. Well, yours truly won for the best thought.

I had the second most comments, and was in the running for most comments when I decided that I wasn’t concentrating on the quality of my comments. At that point I stopped trying to win most comments and concentrated on making sure I was taking the time to post comments that actually had a point that someone would want to read.

I won some nice prizes, they included a white t-shirt from Blue Phoenix Media, a Griffin iClear Case for the iPod touch, and a wooden USB flash drive (1GB) from Targus.

Thank you to Michael Kwan, who is a freelance writer. I highly recommend his blogs, as they are insightful and fun to read. A plus about beyond the rhetoric is that it runs the gambit from movies to grammar lessons to video games. Something for everyone, written for the enjoyment of the reader.

I’ve been working a second job sine the beginning of the year which has cut down on my free time. With the cut back in time I’ve had to prioritize that time between doing my blogs or spending it with my family. Of course my family has won that battle, so I have not been posting for the last month as the second job has started taking off with more work equaling less free time.

I do get a chance to read my RSS feeds and wanted to share some of the best reading that I get to do during lunch or late at night. Here is my list of the top 5 feeds I like to read:

1. Problogger
2. Zenhabits
3. Weblogg-ed
4. Zero Day
5. Education IT

The above are my 5 must reads from the 31 feeds that I have in Google Reader, but I do have 2 other favorites that I like to follow so I would like to share them also….. Millard Fillmore’s Bathtub and the “The Official Dilbert Website.”

Enjoy
