Spinning Plates
If you're new around these parts, I just want to say how much I appreciate your dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!
OK, ordinarily I don’t respond much to memes these days because they’ve sorta been in what’cha might call “bad odor” lately. Besides, there’s enough noise on the Internet these days without me adding to it (I mean, other than the *ahem* prose I write here at the Zone).
But when Brad Shorr hit me with this one, I gave it some thought (sound of grinding noise) and decided this one might just be worth doing. Timothy Johnson started it (in case you’re wondering who to blame thank) when he asked the question, “What are your most underappreciated blog posts?”
Don’t you hate it when that happens? It’s kinda like spinning plates - you work and slave to be the best plate-spinner you can be, and the only reaction you get is, “So what?”
Anyhoo, I went down to the basement and spent some time digging through over 500 posts (man, it’s dusty down here!), and came up with an even dozen posts I consider suitable for, as Mad Magazine used to say, reading… or wrapping fish.
So here, in reverse chronological order, I present:
- Hey, I Got Plans
- Invisible Changes
- Unconnected Bubbles
- The Hidden Stones
- The Ripple Effect
- Fear of Failure
- To Follow the Herd… or Not
- Are People Really Like Wine?
- Talk to Me
- Grrrrr. Bark. Woof.
- How Clever are YOU With a Quarter?
Finally, here’s the one from my list of “zeros” I had the most fun writing.
Y’know, the total lack of reaction to that last one has always surprised me. Although… there was a dark unmarked van parked down the street for quite some time afterwards.
I won’t tag anyone, but if you have some uncommented posts hiding away in your archives that you think would benefit from the light of day (after all, if you wrote them a while back, you probably have a different audience now), well, why don’t you lasso those babies and drag ‘em out here for us to see!
You know, it would just be absolutely finer than a frogs hair if you would subscribe to my RSS feed!

Middle Zone Musings is a comfortable place to stop, have a cup of coffee, swap a few stories and share practical ideas for the real world. I don't ask for much, just a bit of your brain every now and then. Have a seat, take a load off, and relax...
These titles look intriguing. I’ll have to have a look!
Great titles, Robert! I’m glad you decided to join in the fun! I’m going to have some fun reading ahead. You didn’t tag anyone to carry on the meme, though!
Go for it, Brad! And thanks for de-uncommentifying them for me!
Thanks, Tim, this was really a timely exercise anyway. I got to re-read and enjoy some posts I’d forgotten about.
[...] Johnson started a new meme that I read about on Middle Zone Musings. Robert decided to just tag his readers in general. So as one of his readers I am joining the meme. [...]
