Xark!

She's Done It Again!

Forget Michael Jordan.  Muhammad Ali doesn't even come close.  With the June 2007 issue of O magazine, Oprah Winfrey has appeared on the cover a record 102 times!!! That's right, and all 102 have been consecutive appearances.  We at Xark! recognize an accomplishment when we see it and would like to extend our congratulations to Oprah on a job well done.  Congratulations, Oprah. May the streak continue!!

Thinking Blogger Award

We've been tagged by Big Bad Ivy of Home Ec 101 ("What you wish your mama taught you") as part of the Thinking Bloggers Award meme. Works this way: First Ivy and Heather got tagged for Home Ec 101, and then they turned around and picked five more bloggers who make them think. Here's what she wrote:

They left out sports, jokes, geekery, movies, books, media, doodles, pictures and the various YouTube  diversions posted here, but make no mistake: I'm always ecstatic to find out that somebody outside of the immediate family actually reads us. Thank you, Ivy.

Now it's up to us now to pick five blogs that make us think, thereby extending the circle of recommendations. Since this is a group effort, I thought I'd open this one up to discussion. Any nominations from the floor?

Some possibilities:
