This isn’t a King of the Blogs, hit the top of the charts or a Carnival of the Vanities.
LivingRoom is holding a Blogging Idol idea that seems fair and balanced for everyone who’d like to participate.
I’ve been enjoying Carnival of the Canucks, even some that haven’t submitted are getting a mention.

Australian responds to Baby It’s Cold Outside
Shalom asked how Canadian cope with the cold, and has responded with a great post with good comments underneath how our Aussie friends cope with temperatures of +47C.
Fightfighters are busy outside Syndey putting out bush fires that have become an common event.

Academics
When bloggers of all ages are studying, particularly ministers, they tend to post what they are working on. Rev. Mike managed to sum up a long paper in a short post.

And now that looking back…looking forward has a major radio interview finished on church polity and judical challenges, he is settling into a management course.

Austalian pundits
Signposts and dogfightatbankstown post good Australian political analysis that has a different tone and approach of what comes out of the US.

Australian blog awards
Australias blog awards nominations are up. LivingRoom and The Green Man have been nominated. This week The Green Man will be running a series for men:

If you are a man then be prepared to have some assumptions about who you are and what your life really means challenged.

Every now and then we all need to take a step back and challenge the assumptions by which we lead our lives. For the male readers of The Green Man this will hopefully provide such an opportunity.

If you are a woman then you are welcome to drop by and perhaps gain a glimpse behind that big macho fasade behind which most men live their lives, even if they don’t realise it themselves.
