Favorite Posts of 2008
Posted by Matt in News

Happy New Year everyone! Recently, Mashable.com put out a request for bloggers to submit their favorite posts of 2008, so I asked Zach to pick out a few highlights. We ended up submitting the Civilization & Tea post, but I think all of these are worth a second look. For those of you new to the Portland Blog, this is a great way to catch up.

I think this one encapsulates what we strive for.  I like the unity of theme: civilization, art, and tea. Let Them Drink Art

From Zach:

I liked this one that dealt with the national debt.  One guy actually commented, “What does this have to do with Portland Studios?”  It’s a good question, but I still like the post. The Answer is Blowing in the Wind.

I like this next one because it’s a shameless piece of character assassination.  As a Side note, Justin was not amused.  Justin’s Strange Name Change. 

I like this next one because so many people contributed, and because cowboys are fun. Cowboy It Up. 

The next one I liked because it contains a quote from Jim Perrin, who is a spectacular writer.  I also like the topic. Bannf

I don’t know if the next one should be included, but I just adore the picture of the kid with the in-your-face apathy. Half Heartedness and Self Preservation. 

The next one is funny to me, because I was clearly grasping for something to write about.  Knowing nothing about health, I chose to write something that has nothing to do with Portland Studios, and something that is entirely outside my scope of knowledge.  I’m speaking of course about Sugar. Post on Sugar.

The next one qualifies as the most inconsiderately long blog post in the english language.  I still like it. Beauty is the New Ugly.

I only want to say that I enjoy to read the articles here in this blog. Even if I do not understand every single word, because of my poor english, sometimes it needs only few words to understand a message. :)

Thanks

Christoph
